Answer: Volume strength (V10, V20) based on O 2 liberated.
- A Volume strength (V10, V20) based on O<sub>2</sub> liberated
- B The fixed molar mass value of the H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> molecule
- C The measured pH of the aqueous solution
- D The bulk density of the solution alone
Correct answer: A. Volume strength (V10, V20) based on O<sub>2</sub> liberated
Explanation: '10 volume' H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> means 1 L of the solution liberates 10 L of O<sub>2</sub> at STP.
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.
