What is the role of barium sulfate in the production of hydrogen peroxide?

Options

  1. ATo increase the pH of the solution
  2. BTo remove excess water
  3. CTo act as a catalyst
  4. DTo precipitate out and separate from the hydrogen peroxide solution

Correct answer

D. To precipitate out and separate from the hydrogen peroxide solution

Step-by-step solution

Barium sulfate formed during the production of hydrogen peroxide acts as an insoluble precipitate, which can be separated from the hydrogen peroxide solution. This separation is necessary to obtain purified hydrogen peroxide.
