How is it possible for hydrogen peroxide to be both an oxidizing agent and reducing agent?
When H2O2 serves as an oxidizing agent, the oxygen is reduced to H2O. When H2O2 serves as a reducing agent, the oxygen is oxidized to O2 and bubbles are noticed.
Can the compound H2O2 act both as oxidizing and reducing agent?
Yes it can, depending on the acidity of the solution.
Write half-reactions that show how H2O2 can act as either an oxidizing agent or reducing agent?

When the H2O2 serves as an oxidizing agent which product might be formed from it O2 or H2O?
When H2O2 acts as an oxidizing agent, the H2O2 must be reduced. Therefore, the product from it will be water, in which oxygen has an oxidation number of -2, whereas in H2O2 has an oxidation number of -1 and in O2 the oxygen has an oxidation number of 0.
Is nitrous acid an oxidizing agent or reducing agent?
it is both oxidizing as well as reducing agent

Reducing
In the chemical equation H2O2(aq)-H2O(1) plus O2(g)then H2O2 is a?
If you had the equation of H2O2(aq) ==> H2O(l) + O2(g), it wouldn't be balanced, so is incorrect. If it were 2H2O2 ==> 2H2O + O2, then it would be balanced, and H2O2 would be an example of a disproportionation reaction, where H2O2 is both the oxidizing and reducing agent, i.e., the O is both oxidized and reduced to form H2O and O2. Not sure if this is what you are looking for as the question is rather vague.
Is H2O2 the same as H2O?
No! H2O is water and H2O2 is hydrogen peroxide; they have very different chemical properties, because hydrogen peroxide is a strong oxidizing agent and water is not.
H2O2 is a molecule of what?
Hydrogen peroxide, H2O2, is a powerful oxidizing agent. There are some interesting things going on with this odd substance, and a link is provided to the Wikipedia article on this chemical compound.
What is the Difference between an oxidizing agent and reducing agent?
An oxidizing agent oxidizes the reducing agent, while the reducing agent reduces the oxidizing agent. In simple terms, both processes occur simultaneously. Oxidizing is defined as: the gain of oxygen, loss of hydrogen or loss of electrons. E.g.: C + O2 -> CO2 In this case oxygen would be the oxidizing agent as it supplies oxygen to the carbon. Similarly carbon would be the reducing agent in this case.
Is oxygen the oxidizing agent in combustion and the reducing agent in corrosion?
oxygen is the oxidizing agent in both corrosion and combustion
An oxidizing agent such as H2O2 is sometimes used as an germicide to kill bacteria in small cuts how might this work?
hpoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
