Which one of the following reactions represents the oxidising property of H_2O_2? [BITSAT 2008, AMU 2008, EAMCET 2008]

JEE Main Chemistry question

Which one of the following reactions represents the oxidising property of HO? [BITSAT 2008, AMU 2008, EAMCET 2008]

(A)
(B)
(C)
(D)Correct

Answer: (D)

Solution

In (A), (B) and (C), HO is itself oxidised (its oxygen goes from to , forming O) while reducing KMnO, ferricyanide and PbO respectively — so in these reactions HO acts as a reducing agent. In (D), iodide ion is oxidised
