pBlock ElementsII 1 Question 34
34. Sodium thiosulphate is prepared by
(a) reducing $\mathrm{Na}{2} \mathrm{SO}{4}$ solution with $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{~S}$
(b) boiling $\mathrm{Na}{2} \mathrm{SO}{3}$ solution with $\mathrm{S}$ in alkaline medium
(c) neutralising $\mathrm{H}{2} \mathrm{~S}{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}$ solution with $\mathrm{NaOH}$
(d) boiling $\mathrm{Na}{2} \mathrm{SO}{3}$ solution with $\mathrm{S}$ in acidic medium
Show Answer
Solution:
- $\mathrm{Na}{2} \mathrm{SO}{3}+\mathrm{S} \xrightarrow[\Delta]{\mathrm{OH}^{-}} \mathrm{Na}{2} \mathrm{~S}{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}$
