Question:

\(H_2O_2\) behave like reducing agent in which of the following reactions:

Updated On: Mar 21, 2025
  • \(Fe^{+2}+ H_2O_2 → Fe^{+3} + H_2O\)

  • \(H_2S+H_2O_2 → SO^{2-}_4+H_2O\)

  • \(HOCl + H_2O_2 → Cl^- + 2H_2O + O_2\)

  • \(Mn^{+2} + H_2O_2 → MnO_2 + H_2O\)

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

\(H_2O_2\) reduces \(HOCl\) to \(Cl^-\) and itself gets oxidised to \(O_2.\)

The correct option is (c ): \(HOCl + H_2O_2 → Cl^- + 2H_2O + O_2\)

P-Block Elements

  • P block elements are those in which the last electron enters any of the three p-orbitals of their respective shells. Since a p-subshell has three degenerate p-orbitals each of which can accommodate two electrons, therefore in all there are six groups of p-block elements.
  • P block elements are shiny and usually a good conductor of electricity and heat as they have a tendency to lose an electron. You will find some amazing properties of elements in a P-block element like gallium. It’s a metal that can melt in the palm of your hand. Silicon is also one of the most important metalloids of the p-block group as it is an important component of glass.

P block elements consist of:
