Hydrogen peroxide acts both as an oxidising and as a reducing agent depending upon the nature of the reacting species. In which of the following cases H 2 O 2 acts as a most suitable reducing agent in acid medium ?
Options
- AKI
- BCr 2 O 7 2 -
- CS O 3 2 -
- DMn O 4 -
Correct answer
D. Mn O 4 -
Step-by-step solution
MnO 4 - + 8 H + + 5 e - → Mn 2 + + 4 H 2 O H 2 O 2 → O 2 + 2 H + + 2 e - H 2 O 2 acts as reducing agent gets oxidised H 2 O 2 → K 2 Cr 2 O 7 CrO 5 CrO 5 formation possibility is there, so K 2 Cr 2 O 7 not selected as choice but KMnO 4 selected.
