The correct Answer is:
To analyze the given statements and determine their correctness, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Analyze Statement 1 **Statement 1:** `2H2O2 → 2H2O + O2` is a decomposition reaction (Redox). 1. **Identify the Reaction Type:** - The reaction involves the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into water (H2O) and oxygen (O2). This is indeed a decomposition reaction as it involves the breakdown of a single compound into two products. 2. **Determine if it is a Redox Reaction:** - To classify it as a redox reaction, we need to check the oxidation states of the elements involved. - In H2O2, the oxidation state of oxygen is -1 (since it is in the peroxide form). - In H2O, the oxidation state of oxygen is -2. - In O2, the oxidation state of oxygen is 0. - The oxidation state of hydrogen remains +1 in both H2O2 and H2O. 3. **Change in Oxidation States:** - Oxygen changes from -1 in H2O2 to -2 in H2O (reduction) and from -1 in H2O2 to 0 in O2 (oxidation). - Since there is a change in oxidation states, this reaction is indeed a redox reaction. **Conclusion for Statement 1:** The statement is true; it is a decomposition reaction and also a redox reaction. ### Step 2: Analyze Statement 2 **Statement 2:** Oxygen has -2 oxidation state in H2O. 1. **Determine the Oxidation State of Oxygen in H2O:** - In water (H2O), the oxidation state of oxygen is indeed -2. - Hydrogen has an oxidation state of +1, and with two hydrogen atoms, the total positive charge is +2. - To balance this, oxygen must have a -2 oxidation state to ensure the overall charge is neutral. **Conclusion for Statement 2:** The statement is true; oxygen does have a -2 oxidation state in H2O. ### Final Conclusion - **Statement 1:** True (it is a decomposition reaction and a redox reaction). - **Statement 2:** True (oxygen has -2 oxidation state in H2O). ### Answer Both statements are true.
