  1. A \(\mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{~S}_4 \mathrm{O}_6\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{NaHSO}_4\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{NaCl}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{NaOH}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\mathrm{NaHSO}_4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Sodium thiosulphate, \(\mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{~S}_2 \mathrm{O}_3\) gets oxidised by chlorine water.
\(
\mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{~S}_2 \mathrm{O}_3+4 \mathrm{Cl}_2+5 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{NaHSO}_4\) \(+~8 \mathrm{HCl}
\)
\(\mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{~S}_2 \mathrm{O}_3\) gets oxidised by \(\mathrm{FeCl}_3\) into \(\mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{~S}_4 \mathrm{O}_6\)
\(
2 \mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{~S}_2 \mathrm{O}_3+2 \mathrm{FeCl}_3 \longrightarrow \mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{~S}_4 \mathrm{O}_6+2 \mathrm{FeCl}_2\) \(+~2 \mathrm{NaCl}
\)
Further, \(\mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{~S}_2 \mathrm{O}_3\) decomposes on treatment with dilute acids
\(
\mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{~S}_2 \mathrm{O}_3+2 \mathrm{HCl} \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{NaCl}+\mathrm{SO}_2+\mathrm{S}~+\) \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}
\)
