Question

Hydrogen peroxide in its reaction with `KIO_(4) and NH_(2)OH` respectively, it acting as a:
A. reducing agent, oxidising agent
B. reducing agent, reducing agent
C. oxidising agent, oxidising agent
D. oxidising agent, reducmg agent

Answer 1

Correct Answer - A
`Koverset(+7)(IO_(4))+H_(2)O_(2) to Koverset(+5)(IO_(3))+H_(2)O+O_(2)`
Here, `H_(2)O_(2)` is reducing agent, `KIO_(4)` is reduced to `KIO_(3)`.
`overset(-1)(N)H_(2)OH+3H_(2)O_(2)toHoverset(+2)(NO_(3))+4H_(2)O`
In this reaction, `H_(2)O_(2)` is oxidising agent, `NH_(2)OH` is oxidised to `HNO_(3)`]
