Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\because \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}_2\) show oxidising as well as reducing action. Oxidising nature (i.e. act as oxidising agent) (i) In acidic solution, \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}_2+2 \mathrm{H}^{+}+2 e^{-} \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\) (ii) In alkaline solution,…
