The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given information about hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) and its molarity and volume strength. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Volume Strength**: - The term "20 volume" means that 1 liter of H₂O₂ solution can produce 20 liters of oxygen gas (O₂) when decomposed. 2. **Decomposition Reaction**: - The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide can be represented by the equation: \[ 2 \text{H}_2\text{O}_2 \rightarrow 2 \text{H}_2\text{O} + \text{O}_2 \] - From this equation, we see that 2 moles of H₂O₂ produce 1 mole of O₂. 3. **Calculating Moles of O₂ Produced**: - Since 1 liter of H₂O₂ solution produces 20 liters of O₂, we can find the moles of O₂ produced: - At standard temperature and pressure (STP), 1 mole of gas occupies 22.4 liters. - Therefore, the number of moles of O₂ produced from 20 liters is: \[ \text{Moles of O}_2 = \frac{20 \text{ L}}{22.4 \text{ L/mol}} \approx 0.893 \text{ moles} \] 4. **Using Stoichiometry to Find Moles of H₂O₂**: - According to the stoichiometry of the reaction, 2 moles of H₂O₂ are needed to produce 1 mole of O₂. Thus, the moles of H₂O₂ required for 0.893 moles of O₂ is: \[ \text{Moles of H}_2\text{O}_2 = 2 \times 0.893 \approx 1.786 \text{ moles} \] 5. **Calculating Mass of H₂O₂**: - The molar mass of H₂O₂ is calculated as follows: - H: 1 g/mol × 2 = 2 g/mol - O: 16 g/mol × 2 = 32 g/mol - Total = 2 + 32 = 34 g/mol - Now, we can find the mass of H₂O₂ needed: \[ \text{Mass of H}_2\text{O}_2 = \text{Moles} \times \text{Molar Mass} = 1.786 \text{ moles} \times 34 \text{ g/mol} \approx 60.68 \text{ g} \] 6. **Finding Molarity**: - The molarity (M) of the solution is given as 3.58 M. This means there are 3.58 moles of H₂O₂ in 1 liter of solution. 7. **Calculating Volume Strength**: - Volume strength (VS) can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Volume Strength} = \text{Molarity} \times 22.4 \text{ L/mol} \] - Therefore, substituting the values: \[ \text{Volume Strength} = 3.58 \times 22.4 \approx 80.03 \text{ volume} \] ### Conclusion: - The assertion is correct as the molarity of 20 volume H₂O₂ is indeed 3.58 M. - The reason is incorrect as the calculated volume strength is approximately 80.03 volume, not 5.6 × M.
