Easy MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2021

The oxide that gives H2O2 most readily on treatment with H2O is :

  1. A PbO<sub>2</sub>
  2. B Na<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> Correct answer
  3. C SnO<sub>2</sub>
  4. D BaO<sub>2</sub> . 8H<sub>2</sub>O

Solution

(a) PbO<sub>2</sub> + 2H<sub>2</sub>O $\to$ Pb(OH)<sub>4</sub><br><br>(b) Na<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> + 2H<sub>2</sub>O $\to$ 2NaOH + H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub><br><br>this reaction is possible at room temperature<br><br>(c) SnO<sub>2</sub> + 2H<sub>2</sub>O $\to$ Sn(OH)<sub>4</sub><br><br>(d) Acidified BaO<sub>2</sub> . 8H<sub>2</sub>O gives H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> after evaporation.
