In which of the following reactions, H2O2{H_2}{O_2} act as a reducing agent,
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
PbO2+ H2O2→PbO  +  H2O  +  O2\mathrm{Pb}{\mathrm{O}_\mathrm{2}}\mathrm{ + }\,{\mathrm{H}_\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{O}_\mathrm{2}} \to \mathrm{PbO}\,\,\mathrm{ + }\,\,{\mathrm{H}_\mathrm{2}}\mathrm{O}\,\,\mathrm{ + }\,\,{\mathrm{O}_\mathrm{2}}
Option A (PbO2+ H2O2→PbO  + H2O  + O2\mathrm{Pb}{\mathrm{O}_\mathrm{2}}\mathrm{ + }\,{\mathrm{H}_\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{O}_\mathrm{2}} \to \mathrm{PbO}\,\,\mathrm{ + }\,{\mathrm{H}_\mathrm{2}}\mathrm{O}\,\,\mathrm{ + }\,{\mathrm{O}_\mathrm{2}}) is correct because in this reaction, H2O2H_2O_2 reduces PbO2PbO_2 to PbOPbO and itself gets oxidized to O2O_2, thus acting as a reducing agent.
