    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 peroxide. \[Ba{{O}_{2}}+{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\xrightarrow{{}}BaS{{O}_{4}}\downarrow +{{H}_{2}}{{O}_{2}}\]
