Question

The reaction $H_{2}S+H_2{O}_2\to S+2H_{2}O$ describes:

• A. acidic nature of $H_2{O}_2$
• B. alkaline nature of $H_2{O}_2$
• C. oxidizing nature of $H_2{O}_2$
• D. reducing nature of $H_2{O}_2$

Answer 1

The correct option is C oxidizing nature of $H_2{O}_2$

The reaction $H_{2}S+H_2{O}_2\to S+2H_{2}O$ manifests oxidizing nature of $H_2{O}_2$ as it oxidises S from -2 to 0 oxidation states.

Hence option C is correct.
