Which of the following can reduce decomposition of H2O2{H}_{2}{O}_{2} on exposure to light

Options

  1. AUrea
  2. BAlkali
  3. CGlass containers
  4. DDust

Correct answer

A. Urea

Step-by-step solution

H2O2{H}_{2}{O}_{2} decomposes on exposure to sunlight or on heating. It also decomposes on standing but at a slow rate. These reactions occur explosively when H2O2{H}_{2}{O}_{2} is in contact with dust. Urea acts as a negative catalyst to this reaction and slow down the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide.
