Example 5-8 Identifying Oxidizing and Reducing Agents. Hydrogen peroxide, H 2 O 2, is a versatile chemical. Its uses include bleaching wood pulp and fabrics and substituting for chlorine in water purification. One reason for its versatility is that it can be either an oxidizing or a reducing agent.
