  1. Q1. Hydrogen peroxide can act both as an oxidising agent and a reducing agent. In which reaction does H2O2 act as a REDUCING agent?

    • A.Cl2 + H2O2 → 2HCl + O2
    • B.PbS + 4H2O2 → PbSO4 + 4H2O
    • C.2KI + H2O2 → 2KOH + I2
    • D.Na2SO3 + H2O2 → Na2SO4 + H2O

    Answer: A. Cl2 + H2O2 → 2HCl + O2

    NCERT fact (chemistry, chapter 'Chemical Reactions and Equations'): In Cl2 + H2O2 → 2HCl + O2, oxygen goes -1 → 0 (lost electrons) so H2O2 is oxidised - hence it is the reducing agent. In all other choices oxygen goes -1 → -2 (gained electrons) so H2O2 acts as an oxidant. Trap PbS one is classic but H2O2 is OXIDANT there. Final answer - A) Cl2 + H2O2 → 2HCl + O2.

  2. Q2. What volume (at STP, 22.4 L/mol) of NH3 is needed to neutralise 245 g of pure H2SO4 (M=98) completely (2NH3 + H2SO4 → (NH4)2SO4)?

    • A.112 L
    • B.56 L
    • C.22.4 L
    • D.224 L

    Answer: A. 112 L

  3. Q3. Reactivity-series prediction: which of the following pairs will NOT react in aqueous solution?

    • A.Cu(s) + ZnSO4(aq)
    • B.Zn(s) + FeSO4(aq)
    • C.Fe(s) + CuSO4(aq)
    • D.Mg(s) + 2HCl(aq)

    Answer: A. Cu(s) + ZnSO4(aq)

    What does the chapter say about this? Cu is BELOW Zn in the activity series, so it cannot displace Zn^2+ from solution. The other three: Zn is above Fe; Fe is above Cu; Mg is above H, so all proceed spontaneously. Pick: A) Cu(s) + ZnSO4(aq).
