Q81 / 180 · NEET 2014 · Chemistry

a H2O2+O3→H2O+2O2
b H2O2+Ag2O→2Ag+H2O+O2
Role of hydrogen peroxide in the above reactions is respectively:

  • A
    Oxidizing in a and reducing in b
  • B
    reducing in a and oxidizing in b
  • Correct answer
    C
    reducing in a and b
  • D
    oxidizing in (a) and b

Solution

O3 is reduced into O-2 ion and
Ag2O is reduced to Ag so
H2O2 is reducing agent in both a and b

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
