Hydrogen peroxide is used as a cleansing agent in the treatment of cuts and abrasions for several reasons. It is an oxidizing agent that can directly kill many microorganisms; it decomposes on contact with blood, releasing elemental oxygen gas (which inhibits the growth of anaerobic microorganisms); and it foams on contact with blood, which provides a cleansing action. In the laboratory, small quantities of hydrogen peroxide can be prepared by the action of an acid on an alkaline earth metal peroxide, such as barium peroxide:
What mass of hydrogen peroxide should result when 1.50 g barium peroxide is treated with 25.0 mL hydrochloric acid solution containing 0.0272 g HCI per mL? What mass of which reagent is left unreacted?

Interpretation: The amount of hydrogen peroxide that can be produced by the given chemical reaction is to be calculated. The mass of the unreacted reagent is to be calculated.
Concept introduction: The mass of a substance can be obtained by using the number of moles of the substance present and its molar mass. The formula used to calculate the mass of a given substance is,
To determine: The mass of hydrogen peroxide that can be produced by the given chemical reaction and the mass of the unreacted reagent.
