Solution
The correct option is D (a) and (b) above. Laboratory method: Hydrogen peroxide is prepared from barium peroxide. By the action of dilute sulphuric acid. A paste of hydrated barium peroxide. (BaO2.8H2O) is prepared in ice – cold water and then added slowly to an ice-cold solution of 20%H2SO4 BaO2.8H2O+H2SO4→BaSO4↓+H2O2+8H2O
Prepared by Merck’s process: Adding calculated amounts of sodium peroxide to ice cold dilute (20%) solution of H2SO4 Na2O2+H2SO4→Na2SO4+H2O2
