Which of the following equations depicts the oxidizing nature of `H_2O_2`

Options

A. `2MnO_(4)^(-)+6H^(+)+5H_2O_2 rarr2Mn^(2+)+8H_2O +5O_2`
B. `2Fe^(3+)+2H^(+)+H_2O_2 rarr2Fe^(2+)+2H_2O+O_2`
C. `2I^(-) + 2H^(+) + H_2O_2 rarr I_2+ 2H_2O`
D. `KIO_(4) +H_2O_2 rarr KIO_3 +H_2O+O_2`

Answer

C

Explanation

The reaction in which `H_2O_2` is reduced i.e., oxidation state of oxygen decreases from -1 to -2 depicts the oxidising nature of `H_2O_5` . e.g.,
