Hydrogen peroxide in aqueous solution decomposes on warming to give oxygen, according to the equation:

2H2O2(aq)2H2O(l)+O2(g)
under conditions, where 1 mole of gas occupies 24dm3.100dm3 of X M solution of H2O2 produces 3dm3 of O2.

Thus, X is:

Solution

The correct option is A 2.5
3dm3×1 mole24 dm3=0.125 moles of O2

2H2O22H2O+O2

2 moles of H2O2 produces 1 mole of O2.

0.125 moles of O2 requires 2×0.125 H2O2=0.25 moles of H2O2

Concentration of H2O2=0.250.1=2.5 M

Hence, option A is correct.
