Answer:

Correct Answer: 8. (c)

Solution:

Concentration of $H _2 O _2$ is expressed in terms of volume strength,

i.e. “volume of $O _2$ liberated by $H _2 O _2$ at NTP”. Molarity is connected to volume strength as:

Molarity $(M)=\dfrac{x}{11.2}$ or $x=$ Molarity $\times 11.2$

where, $x=$ volume strength

So, for $1 M H _2 O _2, x=1 \times 11.2=11.2$

Among the given options, 11.35 is nearest to 11.2.
