A colourless liquid A contains H and O elements only. It decomposes slowly on exposusre to light. It is stabilized by mixing urea to store in the presence of light. (i) Suggest possible structrue of A. (ii) Write chemical equatioins of its decomposition reaction in light.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
The liquid A is hydrogen pexoxide `(H_(2)O_(2))`
`(##SPH_BSR_CHE_QB_XI_MQP_01_E01_023_S01##)`

`2H_(2)O_(2)overset("light")(to)2H_(2)O+O_(2)`
