Answer:
Hydrogen peroxide decomposes when exposed to sunlight to give water and Oxygen.
Explanation:
Step 1 : Write down the formula of hydrogen peroxide.
The formula is given as :
H2O2
Hydrogen peroxide is a strong oxidizing agent.
When exposed to sunlight it readily decomposes by the UV rays to water and Oxygen.
Step 2 : Write down the equation for the decomposition of Hydrogen peroxide.
2H2O2(l) — UV rays —> 2 H2O(l) + O2 (g)
We therefore have our answer as :
The hydrogen peroxide in sunlight decomposes to form water and Oxygen.
