Given below are two statements :
Statement I : H2O2 can act as both oxidising and reducing agent in basic medium.
Statement II : In the hydrogen economy, the energy is transmitted in the form of dihydrogen.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
Solution
Oxidising action in basic medium<br><br>
2Fe<sup>2+</sup> + H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> $\to$ 2Fe<sup>3+</sup> + 2OH<sup>–</sup><br><br>
Reducing action in basic medium<br><br>
I<sub>2</sub> + H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> + 2OH<sup>–</sup> $\to$ 2I<sup>–</sup> + 2H<sub>2</sub>O + O<sub>2</sub><br><br>
Advantage of hydrogen economy is that energy is
transmitted in the form of dihydrogen and not as
electric power
