You must add 68 g H_2O_2 to 1500 mL water.

Step 1. Calculate the mass of water

Mass of water = 1500 mL × 1.0 g/1 mL 1500 g = 1.50 kg

Step 2. Calculate the moles of H_2O_2.

Moles of H_2O_2 = 1.500 kg water × 1.33 mol H_2O_2/1 kg water

= 2.00 mol H_2O_2

Step 3. Calculate the mass of H_2O_2

Mass of H_2O_2 = 2.00 mol H_2O_2 × 34.01 g H_2O_2/1 mol H_2O_2

= 68 g H_2O_2

Answer : The correct option is, 68 g

Explanation :

First we have top calculate the mass of solvent (water).

Formula used :

[tex]Density=\frac{Mass}{Volume}[/tex]

Now put all the values in this formula, we get the mass of solvent (water).

[tex]1.0g/ml=\frac{Mass}{1500ml}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Mass of water}=1500g[/tex]

Now we have to calculate the mass of hydrogen peroxide.

Molality : It is defined as the number of moles of solute present in one kilogram of solvent.

In this question, the solute is hydrogen peroxide.

Formula used :

[tex]Molality=\frac{w_b}{M_b\times w_a}\times 1000[/tex]

where,

Molality = 1.33 mole/Kg

[tex]w_a[/tex] = mass of solvent (water) = 1500 g

[tex]w_b[/tex] = mass of solute hydrogen peroxide = ?

[tex]M_b[/tex] = molar mass of solute hydrogen peroxide = 34 g/mole

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get the mass of hydrogen peroxide.

[tex]1.33mole/Kg=\frac{w_b}{34g/mole\times 1500g}\times 1000[/tex]

[tex]w_b=67.83g=68g[/tex]

Therefore, the grams of hydrogen peroxide will be, 68 grams.
