OXYGEN AND ITS COMPOUNDS

Preparation of Oxygen:

1. Describe the laboratory preparation of oxygen gas using hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) and
manganese (IV) oxide (MnO₂). Write the balanced chemical equation.

2. Explain the principle behind the industrial production of oxygen gas through fractional
distillation of liquid air.

3. How can oxygen be prepared in the laboratory by heating potassium chlorate (KClO₃)? Provide
the balanced chemical equation.

Properties of Oxygen:

4. Discuss the physical properties of oxygen gas, including its color, odor, and solubility in water.

5. Why is oxygen considered essential for combustion? Explain with examples.

6. Describe the reactivity of oxygen with metals. How does the reactivity vary among different
metals?

Reactions of Oxygen:

7. Explain the reaction of oxygen with hydrogen to form water. Write the balanced chemical
equation.

8. How does oxygen react with non-metals, such as sulfur and phosphorus?

9. Describe the process of rusting of iron in the presence of oxygen. What are the conditions
required for rusting to occur?

Storage of Oxygen:

10. Discuss the methods used for the storage of oxygen gas. Why is it typically stored under pressure
or as a cryogenic liquid?

11. Explain the concept of oxygen concentrators. How do they work, and what are their advantages
in medical applications?

12. Describe the safety precautions that should be followed when handling and storing oxygen due
to its role in supporting combustion.

Oxygen Compounds:

13. Describe the properties and uses of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂). How is it prepared industrially?

14. Discuss the formation and properties of ozone (O₃). How is it synthesized, and what are its roles
in the atmosphere?

15. Explain the significance of oxygen in the formation of oxides of nitrogen (NO, NO₂) during
combustion processes.
