Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

$ ClO_2\to C{{l}^{-}} $

$ ClO_2+2H_2O+5e\to C{{l}^{-}}+4O{{H}^{-}} $

$ H_2O_2\to O_2 $

$ H_2O_2+2O{{H}^{-}}\to O_2+2H_2O+2e $

$ ClO_2+2H_2O+5e\to C{{l}^{-}}+4O{{H}^{-}}]\times 2 $

$ H_2O_2+2O{{H}^{-}}\to O_2+2H_2O+2e]\times 2 $

$ 2ClO_2+5H_2O_2+2O{{H}^{-}}\to 2C{{l}^{-}}+5O_2+5H_2O $

$ 2ClO_2\equiv 5H_2O_2 $

$ \therefore $ $ ClO_2=2.5H_2O_2 $
