Question

Given below are two statements:
Statement

I

:

H_{2} O_{2}

can act as both oxidising and reducing agent in basic medium.
Statement

I I

: In the hydrogen economy, the energy is transmitted in the form ofdihydrogen. In the light of th
above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: B. (b ) JEE Main 2021 (a) H_2O_2 can acts as both oxidising and reducing agent in basic medium. (i) 2 Fe^2++H_2O_2 2 Fe^3++2 OH In this reaction, H_2O_2 acts as oxiding agent. (ii) 2 MnO_4^+7+3H_2O_2 2 MnO_2+3O_2+2H_2O+2 OH^- In this reaction, H_2O_2 acts as reducing agent. (b) The basic principle of hydrogen economy is the transportation and storage of energy in the form of liquidsor gaseous dihydrogen. Advantage of hydrogen economy is that energy is transmitted in the form ofdihydrogen and not as electric power
