The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the statements about the valence factor of \( H_2O_2 \) and the change of oxidation state in redox reactions, we will analyze each statement step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding Statement 1 **Statement 1:** The valence factor of \( H_2O_2 \) is always 2. - **Definition of Valence Factor:** The valence factor of a substance is defined as the total change in oxidation state of all atoms in one molecule during a reaction, or equivalently, the number of electrons exchanged in the reaction. - **Analyzing \( H_2O_2 \):** - The oxidation state of oxygen in \( H_2O_2 \) (hydrogen peroxide) is -1. - In the reaction where \( H_2O_2 \) decomposes, it can be represented as: \[ 2H_2O_2 \rightarrow 2H_2O + O_2 \] - In this reaction, the oxidation state of oxygen changes from -1 in \( H_2O_2 \) to 0 in \( O_2 \) (elemental state) and from -1 in \( H_2O_2 \) to -2 in \( H_2O \). - **Calculating Change in Oxidation State:** - For one molecule of \( H_2O_2 \): - One oxygen goes from -1 to 0 (oxidation, change of +1). - The other oxygen goes from -1 to -2 (reduction, change of -1). - Total change in oxidation state per molecule of \( H_2O_2 \) is: \[ +1 + (-1) = 0 \] - However, if we consider the total number of electrons transferred, we find that 2 electrons are exchanged for 2 molecules of \( H_2O_2 \), leading to a valence factor of: \[ \text{Valence Factor} = \frac{2 \text{ electrons}}{2 \text{ molecules}} = 1 \] **Conclusion for Statement 1:** The statement is **false** because the valence factor of \( H_2O_2 \) is 1, not 2. ### Step 2: Understanding Statement 2 **Statement 2:** In redox reactions, the change of oxidation state per molecule is 2. - **Analyzing Redox Reactions:** - In a redox reaction, the total change in oxidation state for the reactants can be calculated. - In the case of \( H_2O_2 \), as analyzed above, the total change in oxidation state is indeed 2 when considering the two oxygen atoms involved in the reaction. **Conclusion for Statement 2:** The statement is **true** because the total change in oxidation state for the two oxygen atoms in \( H_2O_2 \) during the reaction is 2. ### Final Conclusion - **Statement 1:** False - **Statement 2:** True ### Correct Option The correct option is that Statement 1 is false and Statement 2 is true. ---
