Q72 / 180 · AIIMS 2015 · Chemistry
Assertion : $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}_2$ has higher boiling point than water.
Reason : $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}_2$ has stronger dipole-dipole interactions than that shown by water.
- AIf both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
- BIfboth assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
- Correct answerCIf assertion is true but reason is false.
- DIf both assertion and reason are false.
Solution
$\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}_2$ is more extensively associated by hydrogen bonding than water.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
