Dihydrogen isa strong reducing agent. Can you thick of a reaction in which it acts as an oxidising agent ?

Answer»

SOLUTION :`H_(2)` acts as an oxidising agent when it reacts with HIGHLY electropositive alkali metals. For example
`2Na(s) + H_(2)(G) to underset("Sod. HYDRIDE")(2Na^(+)H^(-))`
Here, NA has been oxidised to `Na^(+)` while `H_(2)` has been reduced to hydride `(H^(-))` ion.
