See the referenced detailed mechanics description. IN addition, I would note that it was a common method for determining molecular structure in organic chemistry.
Explanation:
With modern instrumentation we sometimes forget the importance of some common reactions as investigative tools! In "the old days" ozonolysis was commonly used to identify compound structures from the aldehyde and ketone products that resulted.
