In which of the following reaction `H_(2)O_(2)` acts as a reducing agents?
`A.H_(2)O_(2)+2H^(o+)+2e^(-)to2H_(2)O`
`B. H_(2)O_(2)-2e^(-2)toO_(2)+2H^(o+)`
`C. H_(2)O_(2)+2e^(-)to2OH^(ɵ)`
D. `H_(2)O_(2)+2OH^(ɵ)+3e^(-)toO_(2)+2H_(2)O`

A

`B` and `C`

B

`A` and `C`

C

`B` and `D`

D

`A` and `B`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Reducing agents means that the compounds undergoes oxidation, i.e., the compound loses electrons. In (B) and (D), `H_(2)O_(2)` losses electrons.
Hence, answer is (c).
