The compound that canwork both as an oxidising as well as a reducing agent is

A

`KMnO_(4)`

B

`H_(2)SO_(4)`

C

`BaO_(2)`

D

`H_(2)O_(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
In `H_(2)O_(2)` the O.N. of O is `-1` which can be increased to 0 or decreased to `-2`.Hence `H_(2)O_(2)` can work as reducing and oxidising agent.
