The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "H₂O₂ on oxidation gives:", we will analyze the oxidation process of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the Composition of H₂O₂ - Hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) consists of two hydrogen atoms and two oxygen atoms. The oxidation state of oxygen in H₂O₂ is -1. ### Step 2: Identify the Oxidation Process - Oxidation is defined as the loss of electrons or an increase in oxidation state. In the case of H₂O₂, when it undergoes oxidation, the oxidation state of oxygen changes. ### Step 3: Determine the Products of Oxidation - Upon oxidation, H₂O₂ can lose electrons and convert to molecular oxygen (O₂). The oxidation state of oxygen in O₂ is 0. ### Step 4: Write the Chemical Reaction - The balanced chemical equation for the oxidation of hydrogen peroxide can be represented as: \[ 2 H₂O₂ \rightarrow 2 H₂O + O₂ \] - This shows that two molecules of hydrogen peroxide produce two molecules of water and one molecule of oxygen gas. ### Step 5: Conclusion - Therefore, the final product of the oxidation of H₂O₂ is oxygen gas (O₂). ### Final Answer - H₂O₂ on oxidation gives oxygen gas (O₂). ---
