Detailed Solution

The boiling point of H₂O₂ cannot be determined experimentally by distillation.
As it undergoes decomposition below its boiling point as H₂Oand O₂ .Due to presence of weak peroxy bond it undergoes decomposition.
H₂O₂ → H₂O+ 1/2O₂
Because of this reason H₂O₂ is purified from its aqueous solution by distillation under reduced pressure
Statement I is true and statement II is false.
