(A) HOCl + H2O2-> H3O+ + Cl- + O2 (B) I 2 + H 2 O 2 + 2 O H − → 2 I − + 2 H 2 O + O 2 Choose the correct option.

In both reactions H2O2 act as reducing agent In reaction (A) HOCl – O.A H2O2 – R.A In reaction (B) I2 – O.A H2O2 – R.A

(A) HOCl + H₂O_2-> H₃O⁺ + Cl^- + O₂

(B) $I_{2} + H_{2} O_{2} + 2 O H^{-} \to 2 I^{-} + 2 H_{2} O + O_{2}$

Choose the correct option.

Option 1 - H2O2 acts as oxidizing agent in equations (A) and (B)

Option 2 - H2O2 acts as oxidizing and reducing agent respectively in equations (A) and (B)

Option 3 - H2O2 acts as reducing and oxidizing agent respectively in equations (A) and (B)

Option 4 - H2O2 acts as reducing agent in equations (A) and (B)
