The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the properties of the organic solvent mixture used in the industrial process of obtaining hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) from 2-Ethylanthraquinol and 2-Ethylanthraquinone. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Reaction:** The cyclic process involves the reduction of 2-Ethylanthraquinone (Q) to 2-Ethylanthraquinol (P) using hydrogen (H₂) in the presence of palladium (Pd), followed by the oxidation of P back to Q with oxygen (O₂), producing H₂O₂ as a byproduct. 2. **Analyzing the Properties of the Organic Solvent Mixture:** We need to evaluate the four given properties of the organic solvent mixture in which the reaction occurs: - **Option A:** It must resist oxidation. - **Option B:** It must be miscible with water. - **Option C:** It must dissolve both P and Q. - **Option D:** It is generally a mixture of ester and hydrocarbon. 3. **Evaluating Each Option:** - **Option A:** The solvent must resist oxidation because we want to oxidize P (2-Ethylanthraquinol) to Q (2-Ethylanthraquinone) without the solvent itself undergoing oxidation. This property is correct. - **Option B:** The solvent must be miscible with water. However, since H₂O₂ is produced and needs to be separated, the solvent should not be miscible with water. This property is incorrect. - **Option C:** The solvent must dissolve both P and Q. For the reaction to proceed effectively, the solvent must be able to dissolve both reactants and products. This property is correct. - **Option D:** The solvent is generally a mixture of ester and hydrocarbon. This is a plausible property as esters can be polar and hydrocarbons non-polar, which can facilitate the reaction. This property is correct. 4. **Identifying the Incorrect Property:** From the analysis, we find that **Option B** is the incorrect statement because the organic solvent mixture should not be miscible with water to allow for the separation of H₂O₂. ### Final Answer: The incorrect property about the mixture of organic solvents in which the reaction is carried out is **Option B: It must be miscible with water.** ---
