Answer:
Oxygen in hydrogen peroxide oxidizes from -1 to 0.
Explanation:
Oxidation is the loss of electrons. The specie which is oxidized has has elevation in its oxidation state as compared in the reactant and the products.
The given reaction is shown below as:
Manganese in has oxidation state of +7
Manganese in has an oxidation state of +2
It reduces from +7 to +2
Oxygen in hydrogen peroxide has an oxidation state of -1.
Oxygen in molecular oxygen has an oxidation of 0.
Thus, oxygen in hydrogen peroxide oxidizes from -1 to 0.
Answer is: this is an example of an Arrhenius acid.
An Arrhenius acid is a
substance that dissociates in water to form hydrogen ions or protons (H⁺).
For example hydrochloric acid: HCl(aq) → H⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq).
An Arrhenius base is a
substance that dissociates in water to form hydroxide ions (OH⁻<span>).
In this example lithium hydroxide is an Arrhenius base:</span>
LiOH(aq) → Li⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq).
