    The oxide which gives \[{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}\]on treatment with dilute acid is

    A) \[Pb{{O}_{2}}\]

    B)         \[Ti{{O}_{2}}\] 

    C)         \[Mn{{O}_{2}}\]             

    D)         \[N{{a}_{2}}{{O}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Only true peroxides gives \[{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}\text{,}\]when treated with dilute acids. Among the given compounds, \[\text{N}{{\text{a}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}\]is a true peroxide, so gives \[{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}\] with dilute acid. \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  sodium \\  peroxide \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{N{{a}_{2}}{{O}_{2}}}}\,+2HCl\xrightarrow{{}}2NaCl+\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  hydrogen \\  peroxide \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{{{H}_{2}}{{O}_{2}}}}\,\]
