QJEEM21Ch1216: JEE Main 2021 Chemistry - Class 11 JEEM21Ch1216 Solution: Which of the following equation depicts the oxidizing nature of …

Which of the following equation depicts the oxidizing nature of H2O2?

Multiple Choice Options

  • A Cl2+H2O2→2HCl+O2C{l_2} + {H_2}{O_2} \to 2HCl + {O_2}
  • B KIO4+H2O2→KIO3+H2O+O2KI{O_4} + {H_2}{O_2} \to KI{O_3} + {H_2}O + {O_2}
  • C 2I−+H2O2+2H+→I2+2H2O2{I^ - } + {H_2}{O_2} + 2{H^ + } \to {I_2} + 2{H_2}O
  • D I2+H2O2+2OH−→2I−+2H2O+O2{I_2} + {H_2}{O_2} + 2O{H^ - } \to 2{I^ - } + 2{H_2}O + {O_2}

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

2I−+H2O2+2H+→I2+2H2O2{I^ - } + {H_2}{O_2} + 2{H^ + } \to {I_2} + 2{H_2}O

Oxygen reduces from –1 to –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) to 0.
