Solution

The correct option is D K2Cr2O7+H2SO4+4H2O2K2SO4+2CrO5+5H2O
For (A), Ag+12O is reduced to Ago
Therefore, H2O2 acts as a reducing agent.

For (B) Mn+4 is reduced to Mn+2
Here, H2O2 acts as a reducing agent.

For (C), There is no change in oxidation state of Pb.

For (D), Cr+6 is oxidised to Cr+10.
Therefore, H2O2 acts as an oxidising agent.

Answer: (D) K2Cr2O7+H2SO4+4H2O2K2SO4+2CrO5+5H2O
