+3H2 O2 → 2 MnO2 +3O2 + 2H2 O + 2OH
−

In this reaction, H 2 O2 acts as reducing agent.

(b) The basic principle of hydrogen economy is the transportation and storage of energy in the form of liquids

or gaseous dihydrogen. Advantage of hydrogen economy is that energy is transmitted in the form of
dihydrogen and not as electric power

Q1 (2)

Hydrogen is most abundant element in universe because all luminous body of universe i.e. stars & nebulae are

made up of hydrogen which acts as nuclear fuel & fusion reaction is responsible for their light.

Q2 (3)

− +
2l + H2 O2 + 2H → I2 + 2H2 O

Oxygen reduces from -1 to -2 So, its reduction will takes place. Hence it will behave as oxidising agent or it

shows oxidising nature. While in other option it change from (-1) to 0.

Q3 (3)

Fact

Q4 (1)

Na6 (PO3 )
6
or Na 6 P6 O18

Order of abundance of element in earth crust is

O > Si > Al > Fe > Ca > Na > Mg > K

So second most abundant element in earth crust is Si not Ca.

Q5 (4)

Tritium isotope of hydrogen is radioactive and emits low energy β particles. It is because of high n/p ratio of
−

tritium which makes nucleus unstable.
