    The oxide which gives \[{{H}_{2}}{{O}_{2}}\] on treatment with dilute acid is

    A)  \[Pb{{O}_{2}}\]

    B)  \[Ti{{O}_{2}}\]

    C)  \[Mn{{O}_{2}}\]

    D)  \[N{{a}_{2}}{{O}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Only true peroxides gives \[{{H}_{2}}{{O}_{2}}\] when treated with dilute acids. Among the given compounds, \[N{{a}_{2}}{{O}_{2}}\] is a true peroxide, so gives \[{{H}_{2}}{{O}_{2}}\] with dilute acid. \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  sodium \\  peroxide \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{N{{a}_{2}}{{O}_{2}}}}\,+2HCl\xrightarrow{{}}2\,NaCl+\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  hydrogen \\  peroxide \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{{{H}_{2}}{{O}_{2}}}}\,\]
