1.	When sodium thisolphate is treated with dilute hydrochlorixc acid sulphut dioxide gas is evolved along with simultaneous deposition of elemental sulhur what does this reaction indicate about the oxidation number of the two suplhur atoms ? Alsowrite the structure of thiossulphate ion
Answer» SOLUTION :`Na_(2)SO_(3)+2HCIrarr2NaCI+SO_(2)+S+H_(2)O` This reaction INDICATES that the two S atoms have different OXIDATION number APPLYING the gernal rules of determing oxidation numbr the structure of `S_(2)O_(3)^(2-)` ion is
