'25 volume' hydrogen peroxide means
- (A)1 L marketed solution contains 250 g of .
- (B)1 L marketed solution contains 75 g of .✓ Correct
- (C)100 mL marketed solution contains 25 g of .
- (D)1 L marketed solution contains 25 g of .
Answer: (B)
Solution
Volume strength states the volume of oxygen, at standard conditions, that one volume of the solution releases on decomposition, and it is related to concentration by volume strength molarity, since one mole of hydrogen peroxide yields L of oxygen. A -volume solution thus has molarity mol L, and multiplying by the molar mass g mol gives about g per litre. One litre of the marketed solution contains roughly g of hydrogen peroxide.
