NEETChemistryHydrogen
H O-O / H H 2 O 2 is a better oxidising agent than water. Explain.
Options
- AH 2 O 2 can donate electrons more readily than water.
- BH 2 O 2 has a higher oxidation state compared to water.
- CH 2 O 2 can release oxygen gas upon decomposition, acting as a stronger oxidising agent.
- DH 2 O 2 has a lower electron affinity compared to water.
Correct answer
C. H 2 O 2 can release oxygen gas upon decomposition, acting as a stronger oxidising agent.
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (C) H 2 O 2 can release oxygen gas upon decomposition, acting as a stronger oxidising agent.
