Q. 20 volume $ H_2O_2$ solution has a strength of about

Hydrogen

Solution:

20 volumes of $H_2O_2$ means 20 litres of oxygen is obtained at STP by the decomposition of 1 litre $H_2O_2$ solution $2H_2O_2 \rightarrow 2H_2O + O_2$ 2 mole 1 mole 68 g 22.4 litre at STP 22.4 litres oxygen is obtained from 68 g $H_2O_2$ $\therefore $ 20 litres oxygen is obtained from = $\frac{68}{22.4} \times 20 = 60.7 \, g \, H_2O_2$ $\therefore $ 1000 ml of $H_2O_2$ solution contains 60.7 g $H_2O_2$ 100 ml (= 100 g) solution contains = $\frac{60.7}{1000} \times 100 $ $\therefore $ Strength of $H_2O_2$ solution = 6.07. g $H_2O_2$ = 6.07%
