NEETChemistryHydrogen
How is the 1% hydrogen peroxide formed in the industrial process extracted and concentrated?
Options
- ABy direct use in industrial applications
- BBy adding more water to increase the concentration
- CBy extraction with water and subsequent concentration by distillation under reduced pressure
- DBy electrolysis
Correct answer
C. By extraction with water and subsequent concentration by distillation under reduced pressure
Step-by-step solution
The 1% hydrogen peroxide initially formed in the industrial process is extracted with water and then concentrated to approximately 30% by mass through distillation under reduced pressure.
