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

Options

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

Answer

C

Explanation

The reaction in which `H_(2)O_(2)` is reduced i.e., Oxidation state of oxygen decrease from -1 to -2 depicts the oxidising nature of `H_(2)O_(2)` .e.g
