Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation

Oxygen gas produced at STP when the compound undergoes complete decomposition to be calculated.

Concept introduction

Hydrogen peroxide is used as antiseptic because of most of the living cell having the enzyme catalase which attacks hydrogen peroxide and converts into Oxygen (${\text{O}}_{\text{2}}$) and water (${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$).

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation

The ratio of volume of ${\text{O}}_{\text{2}}$ collected to the initial volume of ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}$ to be calculated.
