Question

Which of the following equation depicts reducing nature of `H_(2)O_(2)`?
A. `PbS + 4H_(2)O_(2) to PbSO_(4) + 4H_(2)O`
B. `Ag_(2)O + H_(2)O_(2) to 2Ag + H_(2)O + O_(2)`
C. `2HCHO + H_(2)O_(2) to 2HCOOH + H_(2)O`
D. `Na_(2)SO_(3) + H_(2)O_(2) to Na_(2)SO_(4) + H_(2)O`

Answer 1

Correct Answer - B
In the reaction `Ag_(2)O` is reduced to Ag hence `H_(2)O_(2)` acts as a reducing agent. `Ag_(2)O+H_(2)O_(2)to 2Ag+H_(2)O+O_(2)`
