[JEE Main 2021, 24 Feb (Shift 1)]

a

\(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}\) acts as oxidizing agent in equations (A) and (B)

b

\(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}\) act as oxidizing and reducing agent respectively in equations \((\mathrm{A})\) and \((\mathrm{B})\)

c

\(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}\) acts as reducing and oxidizing agent respectively in equations (A) and (B)

d

\(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}\) acts as reducing agent in equations (A) and (B)

✓ Correct answer: d)

\(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}\) acts as reducing agent in equations (A) and (B)

Explanation

(d) In both the given reactions, \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}\) acts as reducing agent. In reaction \((\mathrm{A}), \quad \mathrm{HOCl} \longrightarrow\) Oxidizing agent \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2} \longrightarrow\) Reducing agent

In reaction (B), \(\quad \mathrm{I}_{2} \longrightarrow\) Oxidizing agent \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2} \longrightarrow\) Reducing agent

Q4

There are two statements one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).

Assertion (A): The dihedral angles in \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}\) in gaseous phase is \(90.2^{\circ}\) and in solid phase is \(111.5^{\circ}\).

Reason (R): The change in dihedral angle in solid and gaseous phase is due to the difference in the intermolecular forces.
