In which of the following reactions `H_(2)O_(2)` acts as a reducing agent?
1. `H_(2)O_(2)+2H^(+)+2e^(-)to2H_(2)O`
2. `H_(2)O_(2)-2e^(-)toO_(2)+2H^(+)`
3. `H_(2)O_(2)+2e^(-)to2OH^(-)`
4. `H_(2)O_(2)+2OH^(-)-2e^(-)toO_(2)+2H_(2)O`

A

`B` and `C`

B

`A` and `C`

C

`B` and `D`

D

`A` and `B`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Reducing agents means that the compounds undergoes oxidation, i.e., the compound loses electrons. In (B) and (D), `H_(2)O_(2)` losses electrons.
Hence, answer is (c).
