JEE Advance - Chemistry (1986 - No. 22)
Give reasons of the following:
Hydrogen peroxide is a better oxidising agent than water.
Hydrogen peroxide is a better oxidising agent than water.
Hydrogen peroxide has a higher oxidation state for oxygen than water.
The O-O bond in hydrogen peroxide is weaker than the O-H bond in water, facilitating bond cleavage and oxidation.
Hydrogen peroxide can be reduced to water, while water cannot be further reduced easily.
Hydrogen peroxide is thermodynamically more stable than water.
The standard reduction potential of hydrogen peroxide is higher than that of water.
