Hydrogen Peroxide

H2O2 solution...

Question

$H_{2} O_{2}$ solutions are stored in dark-colored plastic or wax-coated glass vessels often with negative catalysts such as urea or sodium stannate added as stabilizers.

State whether the given reaction is True or False?

Solution

The given statement given is $T r u e$ .

Usually, $H_{2} O_{2}$ is easily reduced. So it is stored in dark coloured bottle which can prevent the auto-oxidation of $H_{2} O_{2}$ by light.

Urea and sodium stannate act as a negative catalyst for the decomposition of $H_{2} O_{2}$ .

Therefore the statement is true.

Q. Thermodynamically, hydrogen peroxide is unstable as shown by the following equation:

H_{2} O_{2 (l)} \to H_{2} O_{(l)} + \frac{1}{2} O_{2 (g)}

Δ_{r} G^{o} = - 122.6 k J / m o l

As the reaction from left to right is accompanied by a decrease in free energy, it is a spontaneous process. However, its decomposition at

25^{o} C

in the absence of catalysts is slow. The catalysts which accelerate decomposition are Pt, Ag, cobalt, iron, copper, manganese dioxide and light. Concentrated

H_{2} O_{2}

solution can result into uncontrolled decompositions leading to explosion.

H_{2} O_{2}

thus stored in colored wax-lined bottles (as rough glass surfaces) also causes its decomposition. A few stabilizers such as acids acetanilide, pyrophosphates, and stannates are added to slow down the decomposition of
