What type of agent is hydrogen peroxide?

Hydrogen peroxide is a strong oxidizing agent in both acidic and basic media.

H₂O₂ + H⁺ +2e- → 2H₂O (Acidic medium)

H₂O₂ + OH^– +2e- → 3H₂O (Basic medium)

6. Hydrogen peroxide as a reducing agent in the presence of a strong oxidising agent in both alkali and acidic media and importantly oxygen is released every time.

H₂O₂ → 2H⁺ + 2e- + O₂ (Acidic medium)

H₂O₂ + 2OH^– → 3H₂O + 2e- +O₂ (Basic medium)
