Hydrogen - Result Question 15
####18. The reaction of $H_2 O_2$ with sulphur is an example of ……..reaction
[1988]
(a) Addition
(b) Oxidation
(c) Reduction
(d) Redox
Show Answer
Solution:
- (d)
$ \stackrel{H_2 S+\underset{\text{ reduction }}{H_2 O_2 \longrightarrow 2 H_2 O}+S}{\text{ oxidation }} $
In this reaction, $H_2 S$ is oxidised to sulphur and $H_2 O_2$ is reduced to $H_2 O$, hence this reaction show oxidation-reduction both i.e., redox reaction.
