10. Hydrogen peroxide acts both as an oxidising agent and as a reducing agent in alkaline solution towards
certain first row transition metal ions. Illustrate both these properties of H2O2 using chemical equations.
Sol. 2K4[Fe(CN)6] + H2O2 + H2SO4  2K3[Fe(CN)6] + H2SO4 + H2O
2K3[Fe(CN)6] + H2O2 + KOH  3K4[Fe(CN)6] + 2H2O + O2
11. A mixture of hydrazine and H2O2 with Cu (II) catalyst is used as a rocket propellant, why?
Sol. The reaction between hydrazine and H2O2 is highly exothermic and is accompanied by large increase in the
volume of the products and hence, this mixture is used as a rocket propellant.

12. To a 25 ml H2O2 solution, excess of acidified solution of potassium iodide was added. The iodine liberated
required 20 ml of 0.3 N sodium thiosulphate solution. Calculate the volume strength of H2O2 solution.
Sol. Equivalent of I2 liberated = equivalent of hypo used = equivalent of H2O2

13. Ionic metal hydrides react with water to give hydrogen gas and an aqueous solution of the metal hydroxide.
(i) On reaction of equal masses of LiH and CaH2 with water, which compound gives more H2?
(ii) How many kilograms of CaH2 is needed to fill a 100 L tank with compressed H2 gas at 150 atm pres-
sure and at 25°C? (Li = 9, H = 1, Ca = 40)
1
LiH  H2O  LiOH  H2
2
CaH2 + 2H2O  Ca(OH)2 + 2H2
Sol. (i) LiH will give more amount of H2
Due to low molecular weight, in equal amount it has high no. of moles.
2LiH + H2O  LiOH + H2
(ii) CaH2 + 2H2O  Ca(OH)2 + 2H2
150  100
Moles of H2 produced : = 6.13×102
298  1.0821
2 mole of H2 is produced by = 42 g

14. H2O2 ionises as
H2O2 H+ + HO2–
If pH of H2O2 at 20°C is found to be 5.91, calculate ionic product (auto-protolysis constant) of H2O2.
Sol. H2O2 ionise as
H2O2 H+ + HO2–
pH = –log(H+) = 5.9
H+ = 10–5.9
Xionic = 10–5.9 × 10–5.9 = 10–11.8 = 1.58 × 10–12
15. 1 mega litre water (density 1 g/cc) needs 106 Kg of Na2CO3 for removal of its permanent hardness. Determine
