Question

Identify the type of reaction and product(s) formed when hydrogen peroxide$H_2{O}_2$is heated.

• A. Products:- water,oxygen gas Type of reaction:- Combination reaction
• B. Products:- Water, Carbondioxide gas Type of reaction:- Thermal decomposition
• C. Products:- Water , Oxygen gas Type of reaction:- Electrolytic decomposition
• D. Products:-Water, Oxygen gas Type of reaction:- Thermal decomposition

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Products:-Water, Oxygen gas

Type of reaction:- Thermal decomposition

It is a thermal decomposition reaction as hydrogen peroxide is decomposed to give water and oxygen.

$2H_2{O}_2\left(s\right)\to 2H{2}_O\left(s\right)+O_2\left(g\right)$
