AIIMS 2019 Chemistry Reactions of Peroxides MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11

H2O2\text{H}_2\text{O}_2 is obtained by which of the following:

A

BaO2\text{BaO}_2

B

MnO2\text{MnO}_2

C

SeO2\text{SeO}_2

D

TeO2\text{TeO}_2

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The reaction of BaO₂·8H₂O with H₂SO₄ produces BaSO₄, H₂O₂, and H₂O, confirming that H₂O₂ is indeed a product of this reaction. Since option (A) states that H₂O₂ is formed, it is accurate based on the balanced chemical equation. Other options are not applicable or relevant to this reaction, as they do not provide any alternative products or information related to the formation of H₂O₂. Understanding this reaction highlights the role of barium peroxide as a precursor for hydrogen peroxide synthesis in acidic conditions.
