Which of the following can be used to prevent the decomposition of ?
Options
- AUrea
- BFormaldehyde
- CFormic acid
- DEthanol
Correct answer
A. Urea
Step-by-step solution
decomposes slowly on exposure to light.
In the presence of metal surfaces or traces of alkali (present in glass containers), the above reaction is catalysed. It is, therefore, stored in wax-lined glass or plastic vessels in dark. Urea can be added as a stabiliser. It is kept away from dust because dust can induce explosive decomposition of the compound. Urea act as negative catalysts in the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide.
