In (A) reduction of HOCl occurs, so it will be an oxidising agent hence H2O2 will be a reducing agent.
In (B) reduction of I2 occurs, so it will be an oxidising agent and H2O2 will be a reducing agent.

At 298 K, the mole percentage of $\mathrm{N}_{2}(\mathrm{~g})$ in air is $80 \%$. Water is in equilibrium with air at a pressure of 10 atm. What is the mole fraction of $\mathrm{N}_{2}(\mathrm{~g})$ in water at 298 K ? ($\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{H}}$ for $\mathrm{N}_{2}$ is $6.5 \times 10^{7} \mathrm{~mm} \mathrm{Hg}$)
Electricity is passed through an acidic solution of $\mathrm{Cu}^{2+}$ till all the $\mathrm{Cu}^{2+}$ was exhausted, leading to the deposition of 300 mg of Cu metal. However, a current of 600 mA was continued to pass through the same solution for another 28 minutes by keeping the total volume of the solution fixed at 200 mL. The total volume of oxygen evolved at STP during the entire process is $\_\_\_\_$ mL. (Nearest integer) [Given: $\mathrm{Cu}^{2+}(\mathrm{aq})+2 \mathrm{e}^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{Cu}(\mathrm{s}) \mathrm{E}_{\text {red }}^{\mathrm{o}}=+0.34 \mathrm{~V}$ $\mathrm{O}_{2}(\mathrm{~g})+4 \mathrm{H}^{+}+4 \mathrm{e}^{-} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \mathrm{E}_{\text {red }}^{\mathrm{o}}=+1.23 \mathrm{~V}$ Molar mass of $\mathrm{Cu}=63.54 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$ Molar mass of $\mathrm{O}_{2}=32 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$ Faraday Constant $=96500 \mathrm{C} \mathrm{mol}^{-1}$ Molar volume at $\mathrm{STP}=22.4 \mathrm{~L}$]
