Given below are two statements : Statement I : H 2 O 2 is used in the synthesis of Cephalosporin Statement II : H 2 O 2 is used for the restoration of aerobic conditions to sewage wastes. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

Options

  1. AStatement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
  2. BBoth Statement I and Statement II are correct
  3. CStatement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
  4. DBoth Statement I and Statement II are incorrect

Correct answer

B. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct

Step-by-step solution

H 2 O 2 is used in the synthesis of hydroquinone, tartaric acid and certain food products and pharmaceuticals (cephalosporin). It is increasingly being used in environmental chemistry to control pollution by treatment of domestic and industrial effluents, oxidation of cyanide, and restoration of aerobic conditions to sewage waste.
