Question

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 $298 K$ is lower than that of $D _2 O$.
In the light of the above statements. Choose the correct answer from the options.

• A. Both statement I and Statement II are ture
• 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

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Depending on the nature of reducing agent $H _2 O _2$ can act as an oxidising agent in both acidic as well as basic medium.
Density of $D _2 O =1.1\, g / cc$
Density of $H _2 O _2=1.45\, g / cc$
