The compound that cannot act both as oxidising and reducing agent is : 2 3 2 3 4 2 2 3 4 (A) H SO (B — Redox Reactions and Volumetric Analysis Chemistry Question

💡 Solution & Explanation

When the oxidation state is maximum it acts like a strong oxidising agent When the oxidation state is minimum it acts like a strong reducing agent When the oxidation state is between its maximum and minimum, it acts like both an oxidizing and as a reducing agent In H PO , P has a +5 oxidation state and hence can act like a strong oxidising agent. In the rest, the oxidation state is between their maximum and minimum.
