Detailed Solution

balanced equation is

2H2O22H2O+O2 

From the equation it is understood that two moles of H2O2 gives one mole of O2 

As it is known that, at STP one mole of O2 occupy 22.4 liters of volume.

So at STP,  1.68L of O2=1.68/22.4=0.075 moles of O2  

Hence the solution contains 0.075x2=0.15 moles of H2O2

The molar mass of H2O2 is 34g/mol

So the decomposed mass of H2O2 is equal to 0.15x34=5.1g in 25.5 g  solution 

Therefore 100g of solution contains 100/25.5x5.1=20.

Hence the correct option is (C).
