1.	(i) Give a method for the manufacture of hydrogen peroxide and explain the reactions involved therein.(ii) Illustrate oxidising, reducing and acidic properties of hydrogen peroxide with equations.
Answer» H₂O₂ is prepared by treatment of metal peroxide with acid. For example: BaO₂+H₂SO₄→BaSO₄+H₂O₂ H₂O₂ is very effective oxidising agent for example : PbS+4H₂O₂→PbSO₂+4H₂O Hydrogen peroxide acts as reducing agent also. Hydrogen peroxide forms salt with bases, which confirms its acidic character H₂O₂+2NaOH→Na₂O₂+2H₂O

Answer»

H₂O₂ is prepared by treatment of metal peroxide with acid.

For example: BaO₂+H₂SO₄→BaSO₄+H₂O₂

H₂O₂ is very effective oxidising agent for example : PbS+4H₂O₂→PbSO₂+4H₂O Hydrogen peroxide acts as reducing agent also. Hydrogen peroxide forms salt with bases, which confirms its acidic character

H₂O₂+2NaOH→Na₂O₂+2H₂O
