Question

Write SO2 and H2O2 acts as oxidising as well as reducing agents in their reactions O3 and HNO3 act

only a oxidant. Why​

Answer 1

Answer:

In hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), the O.N. of O is -1 and the range of the O.N. that O can have is from 0 to -2. O can sometimes also attain the oxidation numbers +1 and +2. Hence, H2O2 can act as an oxidising as well as a reducing agent. ... Hence, HNO3 acts only as an oxidant.
