← ScienceWhich oxidation outcome fundamentally limits hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) stability?
A)Disproportionation releases gaseous oxygen✓
B)Chain reaction forms water clusters
C)Hydrogen bonding precipitates solutes
D)Dimerization increases solution surface tension
💡 Explanation
Hydrogen peroxide decomposes via disproportionation, where it acts as both an oxidizing and reducing agent, releasing water and oxygen; because this redox reaction is thermodynamically favored, rather than alternative routes, it limits long-term stability.
