A

It decolourises the acidifed `KMnO_4` solution

B

On heating with oxygen at `450^@C` and 300 atm pressure, it becomes paramagnetic

C

It is obtained along with sodium metal, when sodium oxide is heated to a temperature more than `400^@C`

D

It gives both hydrogen peroxide and oxygen gas with water as well as with sulphuric acid.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding sodium peroxide, we will analyze each statement provided in the options one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze Statement A**: - **Statement**: "It decolorizes the acidified KMnO4 solution." - **Explanation**: Sodium peroxide (Na2O2) reacts with the permanganate ion (MnO4^-) in an acidic medium. The reaction leads to the reduction of MnO4^- to Mn^2+, which is colorless, thus decolorizing the pink solution of KMnO4. - **Conclusion**: Statement A is **correct**. 2. **Analyze Statement B**: - **Statement**: "On heating with oxygen at 450 degrees Celsius and 300 atm pressure, it becomes paramagnetic." - **Explanation**: When sodium peroxide is heated in the presence of oxygen, it can form sodium superoxide (NaO2). The superoxide ion (O2^-) has one unpaired electron, which makes it paramagnetic. - **Conclusion**: Statement B is **correct**. 3. **Analyze Statement C**: - **Statement**: "It is obtained along with sodium metal when sodium oxide is heated to a temperature more than 400 degrees Celsius." - **Explanation**: When sodium metal is heated in oxygen at high temperatures (above 400°C), sodium oxide (Na2O) can react to form sodium peroxide (Na2O2) as well. - **Conclusion**: Statement C is **correct**. 4. **Analyze Statement D**: - **Statement**: "It gives both hydrogen peroxide and oxygen gas with water as well as with sulfuric acid." - **Explanation**: When sodium peroxide reacts with water, it produces hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and oxygen gas (O2). Similarly, when it reacts with sulfuric acid, it also produces hydrogen peroxide and oxygen gas. - **Conclusion**: Statement D is **correct**. ### Final Conclusion: All statements A, B, C, and D regarding sodium peroxide are correct.
