Updated On: Sep 24, 2024
- Both Statement I and Statement II are true
- Both Statement I and Statement II are false
- Statement I is true but Statement II is false
- Statement I is false but Statement II is true
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Density of \(H_2O_2\) is more as compared to \(D_2O\)
\(dH_2O_2 = 1.44 \;g/cc\)
\(dD_2O = 1.106 \;g/cc\)
And hydrogen peroxide acts as an oxidising as well as reducing agent in both acidic and basic medium.
∴ Statement I is correct.
The correct answer is (C): Statement I is true but Statement II is false

Hydrogen Peroxide
Hydrogen peroxide is a chemical element including hydrogen and oxygen. Anhydrous hydrogen peroxide is a colorless, sugary liquid that breaks down quickly into oxygen and water. The chemical formula for hydrogen peroxide [H2O2] is H—O—O—H, here, each dash represents a single covalent link. Especially, each bond has a pair of mutual electrons, one from each of the atoms at the bond’s ends. The polar bonds are H—O bonds, but this is not the polar one - O—O bonds.
Physical Properties:
- In its pure state, hydrogen peroxide is an entirely transparent colorless liquid with a nitric acid-like odor.
- The consistency of hydrogen peroxide is far better than that of water. It has a density of about 40% that of water.
Chemical Properties:
- It dissolves in water, which after getting mixed with water produces a homogenous solution.
- Naturally acidic in nature.
- The oxidizing agent H2O2 is quite powerful. As a derivative, it gives up one oxygen atom and forms water.
