`H_2O_2` is always stored in black bottles because

A

it is highly unstable

B

its enthalpy of decomposition is high

C

it undergoes auto-oxidation on prolonged standing

D

Both A&C

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`H_(2) O_(2)` readily undergoes decomposition on prolonged standing due to its unstable nature. The decomposition or auto-oxidation is further accelerated by sunlight and rough surface. In order to check it, hydrogen peroxide is stored in black bottles.
