    The compound that is considered as a true peroxide, is

    A) \[Pb{{O}_{2}}\]                

    B) \[Ba{{O}_{2}}\]

    C) \[Mn{{O}_{2}}\]                              

    D) \[N{{O}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    True peroxides are those which liberate hydrogen peroxide on treatment with dilute acids. Among the given, only \[Ba{{O}_{2}}\] liberates \[{{H}_{2}}{{O}_{2}}\]with dilute acid, hence it is a true peroxid. \[Ba{{O}_{2}}+{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\xrightarrow{{}}BaS{{O}_{4}}\downarrow +{{H}_{2}}{{O}_{2}}\]
