Which of the following behaves as both oxidising and reducing agents?

A

`H_(2)SO_(4)`

B

`SO_(2)`

C

`H_(2)O`

D

`HNO_(3)`

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
In `SO_(2)` the O.N. of S can increase and decrease. Hence can behave as reducing and oxidising agent. Oxidation state of S varies from -2 to 6.
