Which one of the following acts as a reducing as well as oxidising agent ?

A

`NaNO_(3)`

B

`Na_(2)O`

C

`Na_(2)O_(2)`

D

`KNO_(3)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`O_(2)^(-)` (peroxide ion) can be oxidised to `O_(2)` and can be reduced to oxide ion , `O_(2)^(-)` . Thus , `Na_(2)O_(2)` acts both a reducing as well as an oxidising agent .
