Question

what is the n-factor of h2o2 and o2 in the reaction?h2o2= h2o+o2

Answer 1

Answer:

nf of H2O2 is 2

nf of O2 is 2

Explanation:

nfactor of H2O2 is 2 here also,

consider it as,

H2O2+H2O2 → 2H2O +O2

from here one H2O2 loses 2 electron and these two are taken by other H2O2, so we consider nf as 2 by the very basic definition which is always true.

For O2

check from RHS to LHS,

oxidation no. changes from 0 to -1 so change of 1 in 1 atom, so total 2 for O2
