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