The dipole moment of ${\mathrm{H}}_2{\mathrm{O}}_2$ is more than that of ${\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}$ but ${\mathrm{H}}_2{\mathrm{O}}_2$ is not a good solvent because :

1. It has a very high dielectric constant so that ionic compounds cannot be dissolved in it.

2. It does not act as an oxidising agent

3. It acts as a reducing agent

4. It dissociates easily and acts as an oxidising agent in chemical reactions 

The dissolution of $\mathrm{Al}{\left(\mathrm{OH}\right)}_3$ by a solution of NaOH results in the formation of :

1. ${\left[\mathrm{Al}{\left({\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\right)}_4{\left(\mathrm{OH}\right)}_2\right]}^{+}$

2. $\left[\mathrm{Al}{\left({\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\right)}_3{\left(\mathrm{OH}\right)}_3\right]$

3. ${\left[\mathrm{Al}{\left({\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\right)}_2{\left(\mathrm{OH}\right)}_4\right]}^{-}$

4. $\left[\mathrm{Al}{\left({\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\right)}_6{\left(\mathrm{OH}\right)}_3\right]$

Sn crumbles to a powder in very cold weather, due to –

1. Expansion of the crystal lattice

2. Formation of SnO at low temperature

3. The conversion of Sn to powdery meta stannic acid

4. The transition from white tin to grey form, that is amorphous

Hydrated aluminium chloride is an ionic compound and soluble in water giving -

1. Al³⁺ and Cl^- ions

2. ${\left[\mathrm{Al}{\left({\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\right)}_6\right]}^{3+}$ and Cl^- ions

3. ${\left[{\mathrm{AlCl}}_2{\left({\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\right)}_4\right]}^{+}$ and ${\left[{\mathrm{AlCl}}_4{\left({\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\right)}_2\right]}^{-}$  ions

4. None of the above
