H_(2)O_(2) reduces K_(4)Fe(CN)_(6)

Assertion (A) : In a reaction of H_2O_2 and Na_2CO_3 , hydrogen peroxide acts as acid. Reason (R) : H_2O_2 cannot act as acid.

In a redox reaction, H_2 O_2 oxidizes K_4 [Fe (CN)_6] into Fe^(3+), CO_(3)^(2-) and NO_(3)^(-) ions in acidic medium, then how many moles of H_2 O_2 will react with 1 mole of K_4 [Fe (CN)_6]

Assertion: K_(4)[Fe(CN_(6)] is diamagnetic and [Fe(H_(2)O)_(6)]Cl_(3) is paramagnetic. Reason: Hybridisation of central metal in K_(4)[Fe(CN)_(6)]" is "sp^(3) d^(2) , which in [Fe(H_(2)O)_(6)]Cl_(3)" is "d^(2) sp^(3) .

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 the reaction, H_2O_2 + O_3 to H_2O + 2O_2, H_2O_2 behaves as

In the reaction 2K_(3)[Fe(CN)_(6)] + 2KOH + H_(2)O_(2)rarr 2K_(4)[Fe(CN)_(6)] + 2H_(2)O + O_(2) H_(2)O_(2) acts as
