Which of the following solution produces H ₂ O ₂ on electrolysis?
Options
- A0.2 ~N NaOH
- B50 % H ₂ SO ₄
- C2 % H ₂ SO ₄
- D5 % NaCl
Correct answer
B. 50 % H ₂ SO ₄
Step-by-step solution
H ₂ O ₂ is obtained by the electrolysis of a cold 50 % solution of H ₂ SO ₄ H ₂ SO ₄ H ⁺+ HSO ₄⁻ The electrolysis of HSO ₄⁻ ion gives H ₂ O ₂ .
