Hydrogen peroxide when added to a solution of potassium permanganate acidified with sulphuric acid

A

forms water only

B

acts as a oxidising agent

C

acts as a reducing agent

D

reduces sulphuric acid

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`overset(+7)(2KMnO_(4))+3H_(2)SO_(4)+5H_(2)O_(2) to K_(2)SO_(4)+overset(+2)(2Mn)SO_(4)+8H_(2)O+5O_(2)`
`thereforeH_(2)O_(2)` is acting as a reducing agent. It reduces `KMnO_(4)` to `Mn^(2+)` ion.
