QUESTION:

Hydrogen peroxide, \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}\), decomposes to form water and oxygen.

a. How many liters of \(\mathrm{O}_{2}\) can be made from 342 g \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}\) if the density of \(\mathrm{O}_{2}\) is 1.428 g/L?

b. The density of \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}\) is 1.407 g/mL, and the density of \(\mathrm{O}_{2}\) is 1.428 g/L. How many liters of \(\mathrm{O}_{2}\) can be made from 55 mL \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}\)?

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 3

The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide \({{\rm{H}}_{\rm{2}}}{{\rm{O}}_{\rm{2}}}\) to give hydrogen \({{\rm{H}}_{\rm{2}}}\) and oxygen \({{\rm{O}}_{\rm{2}}}\).  is represented by the following balanced chemical equation.

\({{\rm{H}}_{\rm{2}}}{{\rm{O}}_{\rm{2}}} \to {{\rm{H}}_{\rm{2}}} + {{\rm{O}}_{\rm{2}}} \)

One mole of \({{\rm{H}}_{\rm{2}}}{{\rm{O}}_{\rm{2}}}\) decomposes to give one mole of \({{\rm{H}}_{\rm{2}}}\) and one mole of \({{\rm{O}}_{\rm{2}}}\).
