`H_(2)O_(2)` is used as bleaching reagent because on dissociation it gives oxygen
`(H_(2)O_(2) to H_(2)O+(1)/(2)O_(2))`
"Chachi420" used `H_(2)O_(2)` solution to bleach her hair and she required `2.24L O_(2)` gas at 1atm and 273K. She has a `H_(2)O_(2)` solution labelled '5.6V' then what volume of such solution must she required to bleach her hair?

A

200mL

B

300mL

C

400mL

D

500mL

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the dissociation of H₂O₂ The dissociation of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) can be represented by the equation: \[ \text{H}_2\text{O}_2 \rightarrow \text{H}_2\text{O} + \frac{1}{2}\text{O}_2 \] This means that 1 mole of H₂O₂ produces 0.5 moles of O₂. ### Step 2: Calculate the number of moles of O₂ required We are given that Chachi420 requires 2.24 L of O₂ at standard temperature and pressure (STP: 1 atm and 273 K). At STP, 1 mole of any gas occupies 22.4 L. Therefore, we can calculate the number of moles of O₂ required: \[ \text{Number of moles of O}_2 = \frac{\text{Volume of O}_2}{\text{Molar volume at STP}} = \frac{2.24 \, \text{L}}{22.4 \, \text{L/mol}} = 0.1 \, \text{mol} \] ### Step 3: Determine the moles of H₂O₂ needed From the stoichiometry of the dissociation reaction, we know that: - 1 mole of H₂O₂ produces 0.5 moles of O₂. - Therefore, to produce 0.1 moles of O₂, we need: \[ \text{Moles of H}_2\text{O}_2 = 2 \times \text{Moles of O}_2 = 2 \times 0.1 \, \text{mol} = 0.2 \, \text{mol} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the molarity of the H₂O₂ solution The H₂O₂ solution is labeled as '5.6 V', which means that 1 mL of H₂O₂ produces 5.6 mL of O₂. To find the molarity, we can use the relationship between volume strength and molarity: \[ \text{Volume strength} = 11.2 \times \text{Molarity} \] Given that the volume strength is 5.6 V, we can rearrange the equation to find the molarity: \[ \text{Molarity} = \frac{5.6}{11.2} = 0.5 \, \text{mol/L} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the volume of H₂O₂ solution required We have the number of moles of H₂O₂ needed (0.2 mol) and the molarity of the solution (0.5 mol/L). We can use the formula for molarity to find the volume: \[ \text{Molarity} = \frac{\text{Number of moles}}{\text{Volume in liters}} \] Rearranging gives: \[ \text{Volume in liters} = \frac{\text{Number of moles}}{\text{Molarity}} = \frac{0.2 \, \text{mol}}{0.5 \, \text{mol/L}} = 0.4 \, \text{L} \] Converting this to milliliters: \[ 0.4 \, \text{L} = 0.4 \times 1000 \, \text{mL} = 400 \, \text{mL} \] ### Final Answer Chachi420 will require **400 mL** of the H₂O₂ solution to bleach her hair. ---
