Question -

The reaction $H_{2} S + H_{2} O_{2} ⟶ 2 H_{2} O + S$ shows

Options:

A . Oxidizing action of

H_{2} S

B . Reducing action of

H_{2} S

C . Alkaline nature of

H_{2} S

D . Acidic nature of

H_{2} S

Answer: Option B
:
B

In this reaction $H_{2} O_{2}$ acts as an oxidising agent and $H_{2} S$ acts as a reducing agent as sulphur gains electron and changes its oxidation state from -2 to 0. As its oxidation state increases, it reduces other reactants.
