$Cl_2 + H_2O_2 	o 2HCl + O_2$

Vedclass · Answer

(B) reducing agent is a substance that gets oxidized itself while reducing another substance. In the reaction $Cl_2 + H_2O_2 	o 2HCl + O_2$,the oxidation state of oxygen in $H_2O_2$ changes from $-1$ to $0$ (oxidation). Since $H_2O_2$ undergoes oxidation,it acts as a reducing agent for $Cl_2$ (which is reduced from $0$ to $-1$). In all other options ($A$,$C$,and $D$),$H_2O_2$ acts as an oxidizing agent.
