Question
A colourless liquid ‘A’ contains H and O elements only. It decomposes slowly on exposure to light. It is stabilised by mixing urea to store in the presence of light. Suggest possible structure of A.
Solution
Since, a colourless liquid 'A' contains only hydrogen and oxygen and decomposes slowly on exposure to light but is stabilised by addition of urea, therefore, liquid A may be hydrogen peroxide. A is \[\ce{H2O2}\].
Structure of \[\ce{H2O2}\] is given below.
