  1. A \(\mathrm{S}, \mathrm{FeS}_2\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{S}, \mathrm{FeS}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{~S}, \mathrm{FeS}_2\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{~S}, \mathrm{FeS}_2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\mathrm{S}, \mathrm{FeS}_2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Preparation of \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4\) from iron pyrite \(\left(\mathrm{FeS}_2\right)\) : \(\mathrm{FeS}_2+\mathrm{O}_2 \rightarrow \mathrm{Fe}_2 \mathrm{O}_3+\mathrm{SO}_2\) and from \(\mathrm{S}: \mathrm{S}+\mathrm{O}_2 \rightarrow \mathrm{SO}_2\)
