Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
N/a
Following are the chemical equation of `H_(2)O_(2)` in which it behaves as an oxidising as well readucting agent.
(i)`H_(2)O_(2)` oxidses acidified KI to iodine.
`2 KI + H_(2)O_(2) + H_(2)SO_(4) to I_(2) + K_(2)SO_(4) to 2 H_(2)O`
(ii) `H_(2)O_(2)` reduces `KMnO_(4)` to `
