Hydrogen Peroxide
Question

Electrolysis of X gives Y at anode. Vacuum distillation of Y gives H2O2. The number of peroxy (O–O) bonds present in X and Y respectively are :

Moderate
Solution




\therefore "X" is H2SO4 ⇒ CONATAINS "0" PEROXY BONDS
  "Y" is H2SO4 ⇒ CONATAINS "1" PEROXY BONDS
AT CATHODE : 2H+ +  2e- → H2
 [REDUCTION]
