Hydrogen Peroxide as Oxidizing Agent (Acidic)

H2O2 + 2H+ + 2I → I2 + 2H2O

概要

Hydrogen peroxide oxidizes iodide ions to iodine in acidic solution. H₂O₂ acts as the oxidizing agent, being reduced to water. The appearance of brown iodine (or blue-black with starch indicator) demonstrates the oxidizing power of H₂O₂. This reaction is used in iodometric analysis.
