On being placed in water , sodium peroxide not only produces an alkaline solution but also some bubbles . If we assume that the peroxide ion picks up two protons from water to produce a compound that can be seen as the dibasic conjugate acid of peroxide ion and then this compound undergoes a redox disproportion . Using the above the information complete the following equation :
`Na_(2)O_(2)(s) + H_(2)O(l) rarr (A) (aq) + (B) (g)`.
(A) and (B) are :

A

`H_(2)O_(2)` and NaOH

B

`H_(2)O` and `O_(2)`

C

NaOH and `O_(2)`

D

`NA_(2)O` and NaOH
