Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) +6, + 5

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(i) When chlorine oxidises sulphur dioxide in presence of water, it gives \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4\) as oxyacid \((A)\). The reaction occurs as follows : \(\mathrm{Cl}_2+\mathrm{SO}_2+2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \longrightarrow \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4+2 \mathrm{HCl}\) The…
