When alkene is reacted with 1) ozone, alkyl halide and then 2) Sodium borohydride and alcohol --> the result is a vic diol? is the double bond completely cleaved?

I have never seen that reaction condition for ozonolysis, usually ozone is accompanied with a metal catalyst like zinc followed by an acid work up...
but if it's indeed an ozonolysis reaction, then YES, the double bonds are completely cleaved (for testing purposes).
And no you don't get a diol, you get 2 alcohol products. However, before you arrive at those alochols, you will make 2 carbonyl intermediates which are reduced by the sodium borohydride.
