Easy MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2023

$\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}$ acts as a reducing agent in :

  1. A $$\mathrm{Mn}^{2+}+2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2} \rightarrow \mathrm{MnO}_{2}+2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$$
  2. B $$2 \mathrm{Fe}^{2+}+2 \mathrm{H}^{+}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{Fe}^{3+}+2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$$
  3. C $$\mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{S}+4 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2} \rightarrow \mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}+4 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$$
  4. D $$2 \mathrm{NaOCl}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{NaCl}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}+\mathrm{O}_{2}$$ Correct answer

Solution

$\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}$ act as a reducing agent. <br/><br/>$2 \stackrel{+1}{\mathrm{Na}}\stackrel{-2}{\mathrm{O}} \stackrel{+1}{\mathrm{Cl}}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2} \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{NaCl}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}+\mathrm{O}_{2}$ <br/><br/>$\mathrm{Cl}$ from (+1) state changes to $\mathrm{Cl}^{-1}$.
