Why is hydrogen peroxide stored in wax-lined bottles?
(N/A) Hydrogen peroxide $(H_{2}O_{2})$ is decomposed by the rough surfaces of glass,alkali oxides present in glass,and light to form water $(H_{2}O)$ and oxygen $(O_{2})$.
The decomposition reaction is: $2 H_{2}O_{2} \rightarrow 2 H_{2}O + O_{2}$.
To prevent this catalytic decomposition,$H_{2}O_{2}$ is usually stored in coloured paraffin wax-coated plastic or teflon bottles.

Which of the following statements is correct?
Medium
View SolutionGiven below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R.$
Assertion $A:$ The dihedral angle in $H_{2}O_{2}$ in the gaseous phase is $90.2^{\circ}$ and in the solid phase is $111.5^{\circ}$.
Reason $R:$ The change in dihedral angle in the solid and gaseous phases is due to the difference in the intermolecular forces.
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below for $A$ and $R$.
