COMEDK · Chemistry · 10. Hydrogen
Decomposition of hydrogen peroxide can be prevented by adding
- A NaOH
- B \(\mathrm{MnO}_{2}\)
- C urea
- D oxalic acid
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.
