Assertion: Anhydrous `BaO_(2)`is used for preparing `H_(2)O_(2)`.
Reason : Hydrated `BaO_(2)` is not available.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If the assertion and reason both are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Anhydrous `BaO_(2)` is not used for preparing `H_(2)O_(2)` because it reacts with `H_(2)SO_(4)` and the reaction ceases after some time due to formation of `BaSO_(4)` on `BaO_(2)`. Therefore, assertion and reason both are false.
