Answer: 1 mL gives 10 mL of O 2 at STP on decay.
- A It contains 10 g of H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> per litre
- B It is a 10 molar solution of H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>
- C 1 mL gives 10 mL of O<sub>2</sub> at STP on decay
- D It is exactly 10% H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> by mass
Correct answer: C. 1 mL gives 10 mL of O<sub>2</sub> at STP on decay
Explanation: Volume strength is the volume of O<sub>2</sub> (at STP) liberated per unit volume of solution; '10 volume' gives 10 mL of O<sub>2</sub> per mL of the solution.
Each water molecule's O-H bonds (covalent, solid) can hydrogen-bond (dashed) to neighbouring molecules, forming an extended network responsible for water's unusually high boiling point and density anomaly.
