The oxide that gives

Question:

The oxide that gives $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}$ most readily o treatment with $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$ is :

  1. $\mathrm{PbO}_{2}$

  2. $\mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}$

  3. $\mathrm{SnO}_{2}$

  4. $\mathrm{BaO}_{2} \cdot 8 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$


Correct Option:

Solution:

1. $\mathrm{PbO}_{2}+2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \rightarrow \mathrm{Pb}(\mathrm{OH})_{4}$

2. $\mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}+2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{NaOH}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}$

this reaction is possible at room temperature

3. $\mathrm{SnO}_{2}+2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \rightarrow \mathrm{Sn}(\mathrm{OH})_{4}$

4. Acidified $\mathrm{BaO}_{2} \cdot 8 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$ gives $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}$ after evaporation.
