A
HOC1 + H 2 O 2 
H 3 O + + Cl - + O 2
H 3 O + + Cl - + O 2
B
PbS + 4H 2 O 2 
PbSO 4 + 4H 2 O
PbSO 4 + 4H 2 O
C
+3H 2 O 2 
2MnO 2 +3O 2 +2H 2 O + 2OH -
D
Mn 2+ + H 2 O 2 
Mn 4+ + 2OH -
Mn 4+ + 2OH -
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
In option and reducing action of hydrogen peroxide is shown.
In option it is in acidic medium, in option it is in basic medium.
or
For reducing ability H 2 O 2 changes to O 2 , i.e. oxidize , so in option 'A' & 'C O 2 is formed but 'A is in acidic medium so option - C correct.
