Hydrogen peroxide is a powerful oxidisin...

Hydrogen peroxide is a powerful oxidising agent, both in the acidic and alkaline medium.
In acidic medium: `H_(2)O_(2)+2H^(o+)+2e^(ɵ)to2H_(2)O`
In alkaline medium: `H_(2)O_(2)+2e^(ɵ)to2overset(Theta)(O)H`
Hydrogen peroxide acts as a reducing agent towards powerful oxidising agents.
In acidic medium: `H_(2)O_(2)to2H^(o+)+O_(2)+2e^(ɵ)` In alkaline medium, however, its reducing nature is more effective.
`H_(2)O_(2)to2H^(o+)+O_(2)+2e^(ɵ)`
In which of the following reactions, `H_2O_2` acts as an oxidising agent?

A

`HO_(2)^(-)`

B

`HO_(2)_(2)^(o+)`

C

`O_(2)^(2-)`
