In which of the following reactions the hydrogen peroxide acts as a reducing agent?

Options

  1. APbS+4H2O2→PbSO4+4H2OPbS + 4{H}_{2}{O}_{2} \to {PbSO}_{4} + 4{H}_{2}O
  2. B2Fe2++H2O2→2Fe3++2OH−2{Fe}^{2 +} + {H}_{2}{O}_{2} \to 2{Fe}^{3 +} + 2{OH}^{-}
  3. CHOCl+H2O2→H3O++Cl−1+O2HOCl + {H}_{2}{O}_{2} \to {H}_{3}{O}^{+} + {Cl}^{- 1} + {O}_{2}
  4. DMn2++H2O2→Mn4++2OH−{Mn}^{2 +} + {H}_{2}{O}_{2} \to {Mn}^{4 +} + 2{OH}^{-}

Correct answer

C. HOCl+H2O2→H3O++Cl−1+O2HOCl + {H}_{2}{O}_{2} \to {H}_{3}{O}^{+} + {Cl}^{- 1} + {O}_{2}

Step-by-step solution

PbS+4H2O2→PbSO4+4H2OPbS + 4{H}_{2}{O}_{2} \to {PbSO}_{4} + 4{H}_{2}O

In the above reaction lead sulphide oxidised to lead sulphate. Hence, hydrogen peroxide acts as oxidising agent.

2Fe2++H2O2→2Fe3++2OH−2{Fe}^{2 +} + {H}_{2}{O}_{2} \to 2{Fe}^{3 +} + 2{OH}^{-}

In the above reaction Fe2+{Fe}^{2 +} oxidised to Fe3+{Fe}^{3 +}. Hence, hydrogen peroxide acts as oxidising agent.

Mn2++H2O2→Mn4++2OH−{Mn}^{2 +} + {H}_{2}{O}_{2} \to {Mn}^{4 +} + 2{OH}^{-}

In the above reaction Mn2+{Mn}^{2 +} oxidised to Mn4+{Mn}^{4 +}. Hence, hydrogen peroxide acts as oxidising agent.

HOCl+H2O2→H3O++Cl−1+O2HOCl + {H}_{2}{O}_{2} \to {H}_{3}{O}^{+} + {Cl}^{- 1} + {O}_{2}

In the above reaction Cl+1{Cl}^{+ 1} reduced to Cl−{Cl}^{-}, hence, hydrogen peroxide acts as a reducing agent.
