The dipole moment of `H_(2)O_(2)` is more than that of `H_(2)O` but `H_(2)O_(2)` is not a good solvent because `:`

Options

A. It has a very high dielectric constant so that ionic compounds cannot be dissolved in it
B. it does not act as an oxidising agent
C. it acts as a reducing agennt
D. it dissociates easily ad acts as an oxidising agent in chemical reactions

Answer

D

Explanation

`H_(2)O_(2)` is thermally unstable and it decomposes easily.
`H_(2)O_(2)(l) to H_(2)O(l)+(1)/(2)O_(2)(g)`
Its decomposition is catalysed by alkali metals present in traces in the glass of the vessel.
