Question

In which of the followinh reactions h2o2 acts as reducing agent?

Answer 1

Answer:

A planar (or near planar) cycle of sp2 hybridized atoms, the p-orbitals of which are oriented parallel to each other. These overlapping p-orbitals generate an array of π-molecular orbitals. These π-orbitals are occupied by 4n+2 electrons (where n is an integer or zero). This requirement is known as The Hückel Rule.

Answer 2

Answer:

c)H2O2 + 2 e-----2 OH. d)H2O2 + 2OH - 2e-----O2 + 2H2O. Oxidation state of O changes from -1 in H2O2 to 0 in O2. Since it is getting oxidised, therefore it is reducing agent..
