there are two types of ozonolysis oxidative ozonolysis and reductive ozonolysis
1 oxidative ozonolysis/this test is also given by hot kmno4
   if we use the oxidant hydrogen peroxide [H2O2], any aldehydes that form will be oxidized to give carboxylic acids.
2 reductive ozonolysis
here in this case glcol would be formed
this takes place in  presence of Zn or S(CH3)2
