In the reaction between `I_2` and `H_2O_2` in alkaline medium, what is the oxidant and reductant?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`I_(2)+H_(2)O_(2)+2OHto 2I^(-)+2H_(2)O+O_(2)`
Hydrogen peroxide is oxidised to oxygn and iodine is reduct to iodide ion. Thus `H_(2)O_(2)` is reductant and `I_(2)` is oxidant.

Which reaction represents oxidising nature of H_2O_2 in acid medium

H_(2)O_(2) acts both as oxidant and reductant. H_(2)O and O_(2) are products when H_(2)O_(2) acts as oxidant and reductant respectively. The strength of H_(2)O_(2) is expressed in terms of molarity, normality, % strength and volume strength. H_(2)O_(2) decomposes as H_(2)O_(2)rarrH_(2)+1//2O_(2)(g) i.e., one mole O_(2) is released from 2 mole H_(2)O_(2) .x. .volume. strength of H_(2)O_(2) means 1 volume (mL or litre) of H_(2)O_(2) sample released x volume (mL or litre) O_(2) gas at NTP on its decomposition. Hence molarity = x//11.2 moles per litre, i.e., normality of H_(2)O_(2)=x//5.6 Thus volume strength, i.e., x=5.6xx Normality. Weigth of H_(2)O_(2) (in gm) present in 100 mL H_(2)O_(2) solution is called percentage strength of H_(2)O_(2) How much volume of H_(2)O_(2) solution of 22.4 .vol. strength is required to oxidise 6.3 gm oxalic acid

Give the mechanism for the decomposition reacton of H_(2)O_(2) in alkaline medium catalysed by I^(-) ions.

Oxidation state of oxygen in H_2O_2 is

Passage - VI : Industrially sulphuric acid is produced by the following steps: Stage I : S+O_(2) overset(Delta)to SO_(2) Stage II : 2SO_(2) +O_(2) overset(V_(2)O_(5))to 2SO_(3) Stage III : SO_(3)+H_(2)O to H_(2)SO_(4) Since the reaction between SO_(3) and H_(2)O is violent, SO_(3) is passed into 98% H_(2)SO_(4) to produce oleum (H_(2)S_(2)O_(7)) Ionically the reaction between H_(2)SO_(4) & Mg may be presented as, Mg+2H_(3)O^(+) to Mg^(2+)+H_(2) uarr +2H_(2)O Therefore, in the given reaction -

In the reaction, H_(2)S+H_(2)O_(2) to S+2H_(2)O:

Oxidation is de-electronation whereas reduction is electronation. Oxidants are the substances which oxidise others and reduced themselves. On the other hand reductants are the substances which reduce others and oxidised themselves. The oxidation number of an element in a compound decides its nature to act as oxidant or reductant. Oxidation-reduction occur simultaneously and the overall chemical change is called redox reaction. Redox reactions are of three types: (i) Intermolecular redox reactions, (ii) Autoredox or disproportionation reaction, and (iii) Intramolecular redox reactions. Select the species which can act as oxidant and reductant both : (1) H_2SO_3 (II) H_2 O_2 (III) O_3 (IV) HNO_3 (V) CI_2
