When H2O2 reacts separately with (i) HIO4 and (ii) N2H4, identify the iodine-containing product and the nitrogen-containing product respectively.

  1. I−, NH3
  2. IO3−, NO3−
  3. IO3−, N2O
  4. I2, N2

Correct answer: IO3−, N2O

Solution

H2O2 reduces HIO4 (I = +7) to IO3- (I = +5), acting as a reducing agent. With N2H4, H2O2 acts as an oxidizing agent, partially oxidizing hydrazine to N2O (nitrous oxide).
