(A) $HOCl + H_{2} O_{2} \to H_{3} O^{+} + {Cl}^{-} + O_{2}$

(B) $I_{2} + H_{2} O_{2} + 2 {OH}^{-} \to 2 I^{-} + 2 H_{2} O + O_{2}$

Choose the correct option.

Answer:

Solution:

In $(A)$ reduction of $HOCl$ occurs, so it will be an oxidising agent hence $H_{2} O_{2}$ will be a reducing agent.

In $(B)$ reduction of $I_{2}$ occurs, so it will be an oxidising agent and $H_{2} O_{2}$ will be a reducing agent.
