Consider the two reactions :
(i) `H_(2)O_(2)+2KItoI_(2)+2KOH`
(ii) `H_(2)O_(2)+O_(3)to2O_(2)+H_(2)O`
`H_(2)O_(2)` behaves as

A

an oxidising agent in both (i) and (ii)

B

an oxidising agent in (i) and reducing agent in (ii)

C

a reducing agent in (i) and oxidising agent in (ii)

D

a reducing agent in both (i) and (ii)

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
