Assertion : H_(2)O_(2) is stored in wax-lined glass or plastic vessels

1.	Assertion : H_(2)O_(2) is stored in wax-lined glass or plastic vessels. Reason : H_(2)O_(2) decomposes slowly on exposure to light.
Answer» If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the CORRECT explanation of assertion. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion. If assertion is true but reason is false. If both assertion and reason are false. Solution :`H_(2)O_(2)` DECOMPOSES slowly on exposure to light. `2H_(2)O_(2(l))to 2H_(2)O_((l))+O_(2(g))` In the presence of metal surfaces or traces of alkali (PRESENT in glass containers), the above REACTION is catalysed. Hence, `H_(2)O_(2)` is STORED in wax-lined glass or plastic containers in dark.
