Which of the following act as a stabiliser for the storage of H_(2)O_(2)?

Answer»

ALKALI
DUST
UREA
None of these.

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. It is, therefore, stored in wax-lined glass or plastic vessels in dark. Urea can be added as a stabiliser. It is kept away from dust because dus can induce explosive decomposition of the compound.
