Which of the following equation depicts

Question:

Which of the following equation depicts the oxidizing nature of $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}$ ?

  1. $\mathrm{KIO}_{4}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2} \rightarrow \mathrm{KIO}_{3}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}+\mathrm{O}_{2}$

  2. $2 \mathrm{I}^{-}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}+2 \mathrm{H}^{+} \rightarrow \mathrm{I}_{2}+2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$

  3. $\mathrm{I}_{2}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}+2 \mathrm{OH}^{-} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{I}^{-}+2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}+\mathrm{O}_{2}$

  4. $\mathrm{Cl}_{2}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{HCl}+\mathrm{O}_{2}$


Correct Option: , 2

Solution:

$\mathrm{I}^{-}$is oxidised to $\mathrm{I}_{2}$ by $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}$

Hence answer is (2)
