`50 mL` of `0.1M` solution of a salt reacted with `25 mL` of `0.1M` solution of sodium sulphite. The half reaction for the oxidation of sulphate ion is: `SO_(3(aq.))^(2-)+H_(2)O_((l))rarrSO_(4(aq.))^(2-)+2H_(+(aq.))+2e` If the oxidation number of metal in the salt was `3`, what would be the new oxidation number of metal?A. ZeroB. `1`C. `2`D. `4`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
Meq.of sodium sulphate`=` Meq.of salt
`25xx0.1xx2=50xx0.1xxn :. n=1` (where `n` represents valence factor for metal involving no of electrons gained)
Thus `M^(3+)+erarrM^(2+)`
