Rohan heard that instructions were given to the laboratory attendent to store a particular chemical i.e., keep it in the darkroom, add some urea in it, and keep it away from dust. This chemical acts as an oxidising as well as a reducing agent in both acidic and alkaline media. This chemical is important for use in the pollution control treatment of domestic and industrial effluents. Write the name of this compound.

Give a method for the manufacture of hydrogen peroxide and explain the reactions involved therein.

What mass of hydrogen peroxide will be present in 2 litres of a 5 molar solution? Calculate the mass of oxygen which will be liberated by the decomposition of 200 mL of this solution.

Silicon has a strong tendency to form polymers like silicones. The chain length of silicone polymer can be controlled by adding ______.

Me₃SiCl is used during polymerisation of organo silicones because:

(i) the chain length of organo silicone polymers can be controlled by adding Me₃SiCl.

(ii) Me₃SiCl blocks the end terminal of silicone polymer.

(iii) Me₃SiCl improves the quality and yield of the polymer.

(iv) Me₃SiCl acts as a catalyst during polymerisation.

Assertion (A): Silicons are water repelling in nature.

Reason (R): Silicons are organosilicon polymers, which have (–R₂SiO–) as repeating unit.

What are silicones? State the uses of silicones.
