प्रश्न
Why can dilute solutions of hydrogen peroxide not be concentrated by heating. How can a concentrated solution of hydrogen peroxide be obtained?
उत्तर
Hydrogen peroxide cannot be concentrated by heating as it can cause bumps on heating. It can be extracted with water and concentrated to ~30% (by mass) by distillation under reduced pressure. It can be further concentrated to ~85% by careful distillation under low pressure. The remaining water can be frozen out to obtain pure \[\ce{H2O2}\].
