  3.    (a) and (b) both
  4.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Oxidising agent
:
A
In this reactionH2Oacts as oxidising agent.
Question 12. Equation H2S+H2O2→S+2H2O represents
  1.    Acidic nature of H2O2
  2.    Basic nature of H2O2
  3.    Oxidising nature of H2O2
  4.    Reducing nature of H2O2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Oxidising nature of H2O2
:
C
Equation H2S+H2O2→S+2H2O Represents
The oxidation of S shows oxidising nature ofH2O2.
Question 13. Of the four oxyacids of chlorine the strongest oxidising agent in dilute aqueous solution is
  1.    HClO4
  2.    HClO3
  3.    HClO2
  4.    HOCl
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> HOCl
:
D
HClO is the strongest oxidising agent. The correct order of oxidising power is
+1HClO>+3HClO2>+5HClO3>+7HClO4
Question 14. H2O2 is used as
 
  1.    An oxidant only
  2.    A reductant only
  3.    An acid only
  4.    An oxidant, a reductant and an acid
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> An oxidant, a reductant and an acid
:
D
As an oxidant:
2Fe2+(aq)+H2O2+2H+(aq)2Fe3+(aq)+2H2O(l)
As as reductant (these reactions are apt to produce O2 in lab):
NaOCl+H2O2O2+NaCl+H2O
2KMnO4+3H2O22MnO2+2KOH+2H2O+3O2
Hydrogen peroxide is a weak acid, forming hydroperoxide or peroxide salts with many metals.
Question 15. The following is a partial redox equation:
MnO4+8H++xeMn2++4H2O
The value of the coefficient 'x' is:
  1.    5
  2.    3
  3.    1
  4.    0
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 5
:
A
When you account for the change in the oxidation number of Manganese on either side:
MnO4+8H++5eMn2++4H2O
x = 5.
Question 16. Identify the correct statement about H2O2
  1.    It acts as reducing agent only
  2.    It acts as both oxidising and reducing agent
  3.    It is neither an oxidiser nor reducer
  4.    It acts as oxidising agent only
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> It acts as both oxidising and reducing agent
:
B
H2O2 is amphoteric in nature.It acts as both oxidizing and reducing agent depending on reactions. For example, when reacted with PbS, it acts as an oxidizing agent whereas it acts as areducing agent when reacting with HOCl
Question 17. The number of electrons involved in the reduction of Cr2O2−7 in acidic solution to Cr3+ is
  1.    0
  2.    2
  3.    3
  4.    5
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 3
:
C
The Number Of Electrons Involved In The Reduction Of Cr2O2âˆ...
In this reaction three electrons are required for the reduction of Cr2O2−7 into Cr3+
Question 18. Which of the following behaves as both oxidising and reducing agents
  1.    H2SO4
  2.    SO2
  3.    H2S
  4.    HNO3
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> SO2
:
B
In SO2, sulphur has a +4 oxidation state. In H2SO4, Sulphur exhibits its highest oxidation state of +6.
On the other hand - in H2S, sulphur exists in its lowest -2 oxidation state. Thus, we can surmise
that SO2 could act as both an oxidising agent as well as a reducing agent. Nitrogen exhibits its highest oxidation
state of +5 in HNO3.
Question 19. Strongest reducing agent is
  1.    F−
  2.    Cl−
  3.    Br−
  4.    I−
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> I−
:
D
Iact as a more reducing agent than other ions.
Question 20. Amongst the following identify the species with an atom in + 6 oxidation state:
  1.    MnO−4
  2.    Cr(CN)3−6
  3.    NiF2−6
  4.    CrO2Cl2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> CrO2Cl2
:
D
In MnO4, Mn is in +7 oxidation state.
Likewise, inCr(CN)36 Chromium exhibits +3 oxidation state.
As forNiF26, Nickel shows +4oxidation state.
What will be the oxidation number of Cr in CrO2Cl2?
We apply the rules for assigning oxidation number:
x42=0
Solving,x=+6
