NEET2012ChemistryHydrogenActual
Moist hydrogen peroxide can not be dried over conc. H ₂ SO ₄ because
Options
- Ait can catch fire
- Bit is reduced by H ₂ SO ₄
- Cit is oxidised by H ₂ SO ₄
- Dit is decomposed by H ₂ SO ₄
Correct answer
D. it is decomposed by H ₂ SO ₄
Step-by-step solution
Conc. H ₂ SO ₄ decomposes H ₂ O ₂ , thus H ₂ O ₂ can not be dried over it. H ₂ O ₂+[ O ] H ₂ O + O ₂
