Q. (a) $H_2O_2 + O_3 \rightarrow H_2O + 2O_2$\n(b) $H_2O_2 + Ag_2O \rightarrow 2Ag + H_2O + O_2$\nRole of hydrogen peroxide in the above reactions is respectively :
A) Oxidizing in (a) and reducing in (b)
B) Reducing in (a) and oxidizing in (b)
C) Reducing in (a) and (b)
D) Oxidizing in (a) and (b)
Explanation
[Solution] In both reactions $H_2O_2$ is oxidised to $O_2$, so it acts as a reducing agent. Answer (3).
