2H2O2 decomposes into the products 2H2O + O2(g)
Answer:
a. The student performed the splint test incorrectly. He should of observed a popping sound when the splint was placed in the test tube.
Explanation:
It is given that a student performed an experiment where he dropped a nickel metal in to HCl solution. He observed the reaction and performed a splint test in the test tube that is filled with a gas which is formed while Nickle is dropped into the solution of HCl.
But the experiment that the student performed was incorrect. He must have observed the popping sound when the splint was placed in the test tube.
When the splint was added to the gas splint flared up. The hydrogen gas pops out when exposed to the flame.

Thus the correct option is (a).
It allows you to determine the relation between the reactants and the products.
The compound is Al2O3. The ratio of aluminum to oxygen is 2:3.
