Which of the following equation depicts the oxidizing nature of H2O2{H}_{2}{O}_{2}?

Options

  1. A2I−+H2O2+2H+→I2+2H2O2{I}^{-} + {H}_{2}{O}_{2} + 2{H}^{+} \to {I}_{2} + 2{H}_{2}O
  2. BI2+H2O2+2OH−→2I−+2H2O+O2{I}_{2} + {H}_{2}{O}_{2} + 2{OH}^{-} \to 2{I}^{-} + 2{H}_{2}O + {O}_{2}
  3. CCl2+H2O2→2HCl+O2{Cl}_{2} + {H}_{2}{O}_{2} \to 2HCl + {O}_{2}
  4. DKIO4+H2O2→KIO3+H2O+O2{KIO}_{4} + {H}_{2}{O}_{2} \to {KIO}_{3} + {H}_{2}O + {O}_{2}

Correct answer

A. 2I−+H2O2+2H+→I2+2H2O2{I}^{-} + {H}_{2}{O}_{2} + 2{H}^{+} \to {I}_{2} + 2{H}_{2}O

Step-by-step solution

Oxidizing nature of H₂​O₂​ means it oxidizes other substance and itself gets reduced. In such reactions O₂​ is not evolved.

2I−+H2O2+2H+→I2+2H2O2{I}^{-} + {H}_{2}{O}_{2} + 2{H}^{+} \to {I}_{2} + 2{H}_{2}O

Oxygen reduces from −1- 1 to−2- 2

So, its reduction will takes place. Hence it will behave as oxidising agent or it shows oxidising nature. While in other option it change from (−1)( - 1 ) to 00.
