Which of the following equations depict theoxidising nature of `H_(2)O_(2)` ?

Options

A. `2MnO_(4)^(-)+6H^(+)+5H_(2)O_(2)rarr 2Mn^(2+)+8H_(2)O+5O_(2)`
B. `2Fe^(3+)+2H^(+)+H_(2)O_(2)rarr 2Fe^(2+)+2H_(2)O+O_(2)`
C. `2I^(-)+2H^(+)+H_(2)O_(2)rarr I_(2)+2H_(2)O`
D. `KIO_(4)+H_(2)O_(2)rarr KIO_(3)+H_(2)O+O_(2)`

Answer

C

Explanation

Oxidising nature of `H_(2)O_(2)` means it oxidises other substance and itself gets reduced. In such reactions `O_(2)` is not evolved.
In (a), `MnO_(4)^(-)` gets reduced from `Mn^(7+)` to `Mn^(2+)`.
In (b), `Fe^(3+)` gets reduced to `Fe^(2+)`.
In (c ), `I^(-)` gets oxidised to `I_(2)`.
In (d), `KIO_(4)` gets reduced from `I^(7+)` to `I^(5+)`.
