Show Hint
Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
- Statement I is correct: \( H_2O_2 \) is used in the synthesis of cephalosporin, a class of antibiotics.
- Statement II is also correct: \( H_2O_2 \) is used to restore aerobic conditions to sewage wastes by supplying oxygen and aiding in the breakdown of organic material.
It is used in the synthesis of hydroquinone, tartaric acid and certain food products and pharmaceuticals (cephalosporin) etc. Restoration of aerobic conditions to sewage wastes etc.
So, the correct option is (B) : Both Statement I and Statement II are correct

Top JEE Main Questions
- Two masses $m$ and $\frac{m}{2}$ are connected at the two ends of a massless rigid rod of length $l$. The rod is suspended by a thin wire of torsional constant $k$ at the centre of mass of the rod-mass system(see figure). Because of torsional constant $k$, the restoring torque is $\tau =k\theta$ for angular displacement $\theta$. If the rod is rota ted by $\theta_0$ and released, the tension in it when it passes through its mean position will be:

Chemistry in Everyday Life
The scientific study of matter’s properties and behaviour is known as chemistry. It is a natural science that studies the elements that makeup matter, as well as the compounds, made up of atoms, molecules, and ions: their composition, structure, qualities, and behaviour, as well as the changes that occur when they mix with other things.
- Importance of Chemistry in Food - Chemicals are the fundamental components of everything. Chemical molecules make up all food, including carbs, vitamins, lipids, proteins, and fibre, which are all safe and often desirable.
- Importance of Chemistry in Medicines - Medicines or pharmaceuticals are chemical substances that are used to treat diseases and relieve pain. Chemistry has made significant contributions to health care. Chemistry, for example, aids in the manufacture and application of surgical materials.
- Importance of Chemistry in Cosmetics - In our daily lives, we use lotions, fragrances, talcum powder, and a variety of other cosmetic goods. All of these items are developed in laboratories using chemicals for our health and skin.
- Importance of Chemistry in Soaps and Detergents - Soaps are sodium and potassium salts of fatty acids with greater molecular weights, such as stearic acid, palmitic acid, and oleic acid. Sodium salts of long-chain alkyl hydrogen sulphates or sodium salts of long-chain alkyl benzene sulphonic acids are commonly used as detergents.
