- D \(\mathrm{NaOH}\)
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 \(\mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{~S}_4 \mathrm{O}_6\)

- Paragraph
The key feature of Bohr's theory of spectrum of hydrogen atom is the quantization of angular momentum when an electron is revolving around a proton. We will extend this to a general rotational motion to find quantized rotational energy of a diatomic molecule assuming it to be rigid. The rule to be applied is Bohr's quantization condition.
