Hydrogen peroxide cannot be concentrated easily because:
it is highly volatile in nature
it does not dissolve in $H_{2} O$
it has a very high boiling point
it decomposes at its boiling point

Question

Hydrogen peroxide cannot be concentrated easily because-it is highly volatile in natureit does not dissolve in H-2-Oit has a very high boiling pointit decomposes its boiling point

Toppr Admin · Accepted Answer

Hydrogen peroxides cannot be concentrated easily because it decomposes at its boiling point.

Dilute $H_{2} O_{2}$ is concentrated to about $50 %$ by slow evaporation on a water bath. It is further concentrated to $90 %$ in a vacuum desiccator using conc. $H_{2} S O_{4}$ as a dehydrating agent.

Further concentration to $99 %$ is obtained by distillation under reduced pressure.

Option C is correct.
