    How many \[\text{ }\!\!\!\!\text{ mL }\!\!\!\!\text{ }\] of perhydrol is required to produce sufficient oxygen which can be used to completely convert 2 L of \[{{H}_{3}}C-C\equiv C-C{{H}_{3}}\] gas to \[{{H}_{3}}C-C{{H}_{2}}-C\equiv CH\] gas?

    A)  \[{{H}_{2}}C=CH-C\equiv CH\]          

    B)  \[HC\equiv C-C{{H}_{2}}-C\equiv CH\]

    C)  \[NaOH\]          

    D)  \[{{104}^{o}}40\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Perhydrol means 30% solution of \[{{H}_{2}}{{O}_{2}}\]. \[{{H}_{2}}{{O}_{2}}\] decomposes as \[2{{H}_{2}}{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}2{{H}_{2}}O+{{O}_{2}}\] Volume strength of 30% \[{{H}_{2}}{{O}_{2}}\] solution is 100 that means \[1mL\] of this solution on decomposition gives \[100mL\] oxygen. \[S{{O}_{2}}+\frac{1}{2}{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}S{{O}_{3}}\] \[\begin{matrix}    1L  \\    2L  \\ \end{matrix}\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\begin{matrix}    \frac{1}{2}L  \\    1L  \\ \end{matrix}\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\begin{matrix}    1L  \\    2L  \\ \end{matrix}\] Since, \[100mL\] of oxygen is obtained by \[=1mL\]of \[{{H}_{2}}{{O}_{2}}\] \[\therefore \] \[1000mL\] of oxygen will be obtained by \[=\frac{1}{100}\times 1000mL\] of \[{{H}_{2}}{{O}_{2}}\] \[=10mL\] of  \[{{H}_{2}}{{O}_{2}}\]
