The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will analyze the given half-reactions and their standard reduction potentials (E°) to determine the correct statements regarding the behavior of H₂O₂ as an oxidant or reductant. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Half-Reactions and Their E° Values:** - Oxidation of H₂O₂: \[ \text{H}_2\text{O}_2 \rightarrow \text{O}_2 + 2\text{H}^+ + 2e^- \quad E° = -0.69 \text{ V} \] - Oxidation of F⁻: \[ 2\text{F}^- \rightarrow \text{F}_2 + 2e^- \quad E° = -2.87 \text{ V} \] - Reduction of H₂O₂: \[ \text{H}_2\text{O}_2 + 2\text{H}^+ + 2e^- \rightarrow 2\text{H}_2\text{O} \quad E° = 1.77 \text{ V} \] - Oxidation of I⁻: \[ 2\text{I}^- \rightarrow \text{I}_2 + 2e^- \quad E° = -0.54 \text{ V} \] 2. **Analyze Each Statement:** - **Statement A:** H₂O₂ behaves as an oxidant for I⁻. - Since the reduction potential of H₂O₂ (1.77 V) is greater than that of I₂ (-0.54 V), H₂O₂ can oxidize I⁻. - **Conclusion:** Statement A is **correct**. - **Statement B:** H₂O₂ behaves as a reductant for I₂. - For H₂O₂ to act as a reductant, it must have a lower oxidation potential than I₂. The oxidation potential of H₂O₂ is -0.69 V, while that of I₂ is -0.54 V. - Since -0.69 V < -0.54 V, H₂O₂ cannot reduce I₂. - **Conclusion:** Statement B is **incorrect**. - **Statement C:** H₂O₂ behaves as an oxidant for F⁻. - The reduction potential of H₂O₂ (1.77 V) is greater than that of F₂ (-2.87 V), indicating that H₂O₂ can oxidize F⁻. - **Conclusion:** Statement C is **correct**. - **Statement D:** H₂O₂ behaves as a reductant for F₂. - For H₂O₂ to act as a reductant, its oxidation potential must be greater than that of F₂. However, the oxidation potential of H₂O₂ is -0.69 V, which is less than -2.87 V for F₂. - **Conclusion:** Statement D is **incorrect**. 3. **Final Conclusion:** - The correct statements are A and C. ### Summary of Correct Statements: - **A:** H₂O₂ behaves as an oxidant for I⁻ (Correct) - **B:** H₂O₂ behaves as a reductant for I₂ (Incorrect) - **C:** H₂O₂ behaves as an oxidant for F⁻ (Correct) - **D:** H₂O₂ behaves as a reductant for F₂ (Incorrect) ### Final Answer: The correct statements are **A and C**. ---
