Question

Vacuum distillation is conducted to concentrate $H_2{O}_2$ solution.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Vacuum distillation is the process in which the liquid to be distilled is sucked through the evaporator by means of vacuum, and its quantity regulated by means of injectors, cocks or capillary tubs, the conditions prevailing in the evaporator are always irregular. In particular it has always been found extremely difficult to vacuum distillation, when starting from aqueous solutions of compounds containing active oxygen, due chiefly to the facility with which $H_2{O}_2$ decomposes in the presence of peracids.
