Hydrogen Peroxide as Oxidizing Agent (Acidic)

H₂O₂ + 2H⁺ + 2I⁻ → I₂ + 2H₂O

ภาพรวม

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.
