Vedclass · Answer

(B) $H_2O_2$ decomposes slowly on exposure to light. $2 H_2O_2(l) \longrightarrow 2 H_2O(l) + O_2(g)$ In the presence of metal surfaces or traces of alkali (present in glass containers),the above reaction is catalysed. It is,therefore,stored in wax-lined glass or plastic vessels in the dark. Urea can be added as a stabiliser. It is kept away from dust because dust can induce explosive decomposition of the compound.
