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:

  1. $\mathrm{Na}{2} \mathrm{SO}{3}+\mathrm{S} \xrightarrow[\Delta]{\mathrm{OH}^{-}} \mathrm{Na}{2} \mathrm{~S}{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}$
