Question

Which one of the following reactions depicts the reducing action of hydrogen peroxide?
A. `C_(6)H_(6)+H_(2)O_(2)rarrC_(6)H_(5)OH+H_(2)O`
B. `O_(3)+H_(2)O_(2)rarr2O_(2)+H_(2)O`
C. `2Fe^(2+)+2H^(+)+H_(2)O_(2)rarr2Fe^(3+)+2H_(2)O`
D. `2I^(-)+2H^(+)+H_(2)O_(2)rarrI_(2)+H_(2)O`

Answer 1

Correct Answer - B
`O_(3)` is better oxidising agent then `H_(2)O_(2)` so in the reaction B it shows reducing behaviour
