QJEEM22Ch3226: JEE Main 2022 Chemistry - Class 11 JEEM22Ch3226 Solution: Given below are two statements. Statement I : Hydrogen peroxide …

Given below are two statements.

Statement I : Hydrogen peroxide can act as an oxidizing agent in both acidic and basic conditions.

Statement II : Density of hydrogen peroxide at 298 K298 \mathrm{~K} is lower than that of D2O\mathrm{D}_{2} \mathrm{O} .

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

Multiple Choice Options

  • A Both Statement I and Statement II are true.
  • B Both Statement I and Statement II are false.
  • C Statement I is true but Statement II is false.
  • D Statement I is false but Statement II is true.

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Density of H2O2\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2} is more as compared to D2O\mathrm{D}_{2} \mathrm{O}

amp;dH2O2=1.44 g/ccamp;dD2O=1.106 g/cc\begin{aligned}&\mathrm{d}_{\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}}=1.44 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{cc} \\\\&\mathrm{d}_{\mathrm{D}_{2} \mathrm{O}}=1.106 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{cc}\end{aligned}

And hydrogen peroxide acts as an oxidising as well as reducing agent in both acidic and basic medium.

∴\therefore Statement I\mathrm{I} is correct.
