Question

(ii) Identify the reaction in which H2O2 is acting as a reducing agent. (a) H2SO3+H2O2--H2SO4+H2O (b) 2HI+ H2O2 ---- 2H2O + I2(c) CL2 + H2O2 ---- 2HCL+O2, (d) 2FeCl2 + 2HCI H2O2---- 2FeCl3+ 2h2O
​

Answer 1

Answer:

c

Explanation:

In this reaction Cl2 is reduced to HCl.

Oxidation number of Cl in Cl2 is zero and in HCl is -1. As oxidation number decreases that means H2O2 reduces cl2 to HCl
