Statement I: Hydrogen peroxide can act as an oxidizing agent in both acidic and basic conditions.
Statement II: Density of hydrogen peroxide at 298 K is lower than that of .
In the light of the above statements. Choose the correct answer from the options.
- (A)Both statement I and Statement II are ture
- (B)Both statement I and Statement II are false
- (C)Statement I is true but Statement II is false✓ Correct
- (D)Statement I is false but Statement II is true
Answer: (C)
Solution
Statement I is true: can act as an oxidizing agent in both acidic and basic media, depending on the reducing agent present.
Statement II is false: The density of at 298 K is approximately 1.45 g/cm³, while the density of is approximately 1.1 g/cm³. Therefore, has a higher density than , not lower.
The answer is (C).
Statement II is false: The density of at 298 K is approximately 1.45 g/cm³, while the density of is approximately 1.1 g/cm³. Therefore, has a higher density than , not lower.
The answer is (C).
