A colourless liquid. 'A' contains H and O elements only. It decomposes on exposure to light. It is stablished by mixing urea to store in the presence of light.
(i) Suggest possible structure of A.
(ii) Write chemical equation for its decompositions reaction by light.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Since a colourless liquid 'A' contains only H and O and decomposes slowly on exposure to light but is stabilised by addition of urea, therefore , liquid A may be hydrogen peroxide.
(i) `2H_(2)O_(2) overset(hv)to 2H_(2)O+ O_(2)`.
