Given below are two statements:

Statement I: Hydrogen peroxide can act as an oxidizing agent in both acidic and basic conditions.
Statement II: Density of hydrogen peroxide at $$298 \text{ K}$$ is lower than that of $$D_2O$$.
In the light of the above statements. Choose the correct answer from the options

We need to evaluate two statements about hydrogen peroxide.

Hydrogen peroxide can act as an oxidizing agent in both acidic and basic conditions. In acidic medium, $$H_2O_2$$ acts as an oxidizing agent:

$$H_2O_2 + 2H^+ + 2e^- \rightarrow 2H_2O$$

For example, it oxidizes $$Fe^{2+}$$ to $$Fe^{3+}$$ in acidic solution. In basic medium, $$H_2O_2$$ also acts as an oxidizing agent:

$$H_2O_2 + 2e^- \rightarrow 2OH^-$$

For example, it oxidizes $$Fe^{2+}$$ to $$Fe^{3+}$$ in basic solution as well. Statement I is true.

Density of hydrogen peroxide at $$298 \text{ K}$$ is lower than that of $$D_2O$$. The density of $$H_2O_2$$ at $$298 \text{ K}$$ is approximately $$1.44 \text{ g/cm}^3$$, whereas the density of $$D_2O$$ (heavy water) at $$298 \text{ K}$$ is approximately $$1.104 \text{ g/cm}^3$$. Since $$1.44 > 1.104$$, the density of $$H_2O_2$$ is higher than that of $$D_2O$$, not lower. Statement II is false.

The correct answer is Option C: Statement I is true but Statement II is false.
