Question

in which of the following reaction h2o2 acts as reducing agent
a)2fecl2+2hcl+2h2o gives 2fecl3+2h2o
b)cl2+h2o2 gives 2hcl+o2
c)2hi+h2o2 gives 2 h2o +i2
d)h2so3+h2o2 gives h2so4+h20

Answer 1

bit number b act as a reducing agent

Answer 2

Answer:

b

Explanation: according to me the answer should be b as for h2o2 to act as a reducing agent it should itself get oxidized and for it to get oxidized either the oxidation number of h2 or o2 should increase and as you can see in the b option the oxidation number of o2 changes from -1 to 0.
