Answer:
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is an oxygen hydride with the chemical formula H2O2. It has the ability to serve as an oxidizing as well as a reducing agent in both acidic and basic mediums, demonstrating versatility.
1) Oxidizing Agent
– $\quad H _{2} O _{2}+2 KI \rightarrow 2 KOH +I_{2}$
– $Hg + H _{2} O _{2} \rightarrow HgO + H _{2} O$
2) Reducing Agent
– $\quad H _{2} O _{2}+ Cl _{2} \rightarrow 2 HCl + O _{2}$
– $PbO _{2}+ H _{2} O _{2} \rightarrow PbO + H _{2} O + O _{2} S$
