      Which of the following is not correct regarding the elecolytic preparation of\[{{H}_{2}}{{O}_{2}}\]?

    A)  Lead is used as cathode

    B)         \[50%\,\,{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\] is used

    C)         Hydrogen is liberated at anode

    D)         Sulphuric acid undergoes oxidation

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\]can be prepared by electrolysis of\[50%\] \[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\]. In this method, hydrogen is liberated at cathode.                 \[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}2{{H}^{+}}+2HSO_{4}^{-}\] At anode:\[2HSO_{4}^{-}\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}{{H}_{2}}{{S}_{2}}{{O}_{8}}+2{{e}^{-}}\] \[{{H}_{2}}{{S}_{2}}{{O}_{8}}+2{{H}_{2}}O\xrightarrow{{}}2{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}+{{H}_{2}}{{O}_{2}}\] At cathode:\[2{{H}^{+}}+2{{e}^{-}}\xrightarrow{{}}{{H}_{2}}\uparrow \]
