Decomposition of hydrogen peroxide can be prevented by adding

  1. A NaOH
  2. B \(\mathrm{MnO}_{2}\)
  3. C urea
  4. D oxalic acid
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) urea

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}\) decomposes slowly on exposure to light. \[ 2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}(l) \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(l)+\mathrm{O}_{2}(g) \] Its decomposition can be prevented by adding urea as a stabiliser.
