Answer: Option D. -> HOCl
:
D
HClO is the strongest oxidising agent. The correct order of oxidising power is
+1HClO>+3HClO2>+5HClO3>+7HClO4

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+H2O2⟶O2+NaCl+H2O
2KMnO4+3H2O2⟶2MnO2+2KOH+2H2O+3O2
Hydrogen peroxide is a weak acid, forming hydroperoxide or peroxide salts with many metals.

Answer: Option A. -> 5
:
A
When you account for the change in the oxidation number of Manganese on either side:
MnO−4+8H++5e−⟶Mn2++4H2O
x = 5.

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

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.

Answer: Option D. -> CrO2Cl2
:
D
In MnO−4, Mn is in +7 oxidation state.
Likewise, inCr(CN)3−6 Chromium exhibits +3 oxidation state.
As forNiF2−6, Nickel shows +4oxidation state.
What will be the oxidation number of Cr in CrO2Cl2?
We apply the rules for assigning oxidation number:
x−4−2=0
Solving,x=+6
