  4. D Na2O2 in presence of H2SO4
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Na2O2 in water

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In basic medium \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}_2\) acts as reducing agent.
\(\mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{O}_2+2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{NaOH}+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}_2\)
\(2 \mathrm{Fe}^{3+}+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}_2+2 \mathrm{OH}-\rightarrow 2 \mathrm{Fe}^{2+}+2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\) \(+~\mathrm{O}_2\)
