Water is oxidised to oxygen by :

A

`ClO_(2)`

B

`KMnO_(4)`

C

`H_(2)O_(2)`

D

Fluorine

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Fluorine being a good oxidising agnet, oxidises `H_(2)O` to `O_(2)`
`2F_(2)+2H_(2)OtoO_(2)+4HF`
`therefore` Water is oxidised to `O_(2)` by `F_(2)`
