  2. B \(\mathrm{MnO}_2, \mathrm{SO}_2, \mathrm{HO}^{-}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{MnO}_2, \mathrm{SO}_4^{2-}, \mathrm{HO}^{-}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{Mn}^{2+}, \mathrm{SO}_4^{2-}, \mathrm{H}^{+}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mathrm{MnO}_2, \mathrm{SO}_4^{2-}, \mathrm{HO}^{-}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \mathrm{MnO}_4^{-} \) reduces to \( \mathrm{MnO}_2 \) in neutral solution. \( \mathrm{S}_2 \mathrm{O}_3^{2-} \) oxidizes to \( \mathrm{SO}_4^{2-} \). The products are \( \mathrm{MnO}_2, \mathrm{SO}_4^{2-}, \mathrm{HO}^{-} \).
