WHAT ARE H2O2 OXIDIZING AND REDUCING PROPERTIES |
| Answer» Hydrogen peroxide behaves as an oxidising as well as reducing agent in both acidic and basic solution. The oxidation state of oxygen in hydrogen peroxide is -1 .It can be oxidised to oxygen or reduced to water or hydroxide ion. Hydrogen peroxide act as an oxidising agent both in acidic as well as alkaline medium . In presence of strong oxidising agent, hydrogen peroxide behave as a reducing agent in acidic as well as alkaline medium.In these reactions, molecular oxygen is always produced by the combination of H | |
