Welcome to the NCERT Solutions for Class 11th Chemistry - Chapter Hydrogen. This page offers a step-by-step solution to the specific question from Exercise 1, Question 25: write chemical reactions to justify that hydrogen....
Question 25

Write chemical reactions to justify that hydrogen peroxide can function as an oxidizing as well as reducing agent.

Answer

Hydrogen peroxide, H2O2 acts as an oxidizing as well as a reducing agent in both acidic and alkaline media.

Reactions involving oxidizing actions are:

1)  2Fe2+ + 2H+  + H2O2  →  2Fe3+  +  2H2O

2) Mn2+  +  H2O2   →   Mn4+   +  2OH-

3) PbS  +  4H2O2    →   PbSO4  +  4H2O

4) 2Fe2+  + H2O2   →  2 Fe3+  + 2OH-

 

Reactions involving reduction actions are:
1)  2MnO-4  + 6H+  +  5H2O2  →  2Mn2+  +  8H2O  + 5O2

2) I2  + H2O2  +  2OH-   →   2l- + 2H2O + O2

3) HOCl  +  H2O2   →  H3O+  + Cl-  +  O2

4) 2MnO- +  3H2O2   →  2MnO2  +  3O2  + 2H2O  + 2OH-
