A) \[{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}\]has weak acidic property
B) \[{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}\]has weak basic property
C) \[{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}\]can act as an oxidising agent
D) \[{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}\]can act as a reducing agent
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
\[{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}\]has a tendency to give proton in water, thus, it is acidic in nature. \[{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}\]also has electron donating as well as electron accepting tendency, thus it behaves like both oxidising agent and reducing agent. Its oxidising property is due to following reaction\[{{H}_{2}}{{O}_{2}}+2{{H}^{+}}+2{{e}^{-}}\xrightarrow{{}}2{{H}_{2}}O\]and its reducing property is due to following reaction \[{{H}_{2}}{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}{{O}_{2}}+2{{H}^{+}}+2{{e}^{-}}\]
