Consider the reactions (i) H_2O_2 + 2HI to I_2 + 2H_2O (ii) HOCl + H

1.	Consider the reactions (i) H_2O_2 + 2HI to I_2 + 2H_2O (ii) HOCl + H_2O_2 to H_3O^(+) + Cl^(-) + O_2 Which of the following statements is correct about H_2O_2 with reference to these reactions ? Hydrogen peroxide is ……….
Answer» an oxidising AGENT in both (i) and (ii) an oxidising agent in (i) and reducing agent in (ii) a reducing agent in (i) and oxidising agent in (ii) a reducing agent in both (i) and (ii) Solution : In above reduction `H_2O_2` ACTS as a Reducing agent and CONVERT HOCL into `Cl^(-1)`
