The oxidation number of sulphur in `Na_2S_4O_6` is .A. ` 1.5`B. ` 2.5`C. ` 3.0`D. ` 2.0`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
The algebraic sum of the the oxidation numbers of all the atoms in a compound must be zero . Let the the oxidation number of S be x . Then
Note that this is the average oxidation number of S in ` Na_2S_4O_6`. In fact, two S atoms have an oxidation state of zero while other two S atoms have an oxidation state of `+5` each as shown by its structure :
`Na^(+)overset(-)(O)-underset(O)underset(||)overset(O)overset(||)(S)overset(+5)(-)overset(0)(S)-overset(0)(S)overset(+5)(-)underset(O)underset(||)overset(O)overset(||)(S)-overset(-)(O)Na^(+)`

The sum of oxidation numbers fo all the atoms in the dichromate ion is .A. `-3`B. `-1`C. `-4`D. `-2`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Dichromate ion is `Cr_2O_7^(2-)`. In a polyatomic ion, the sum of oxidation numbers fo all the atoms in the ion must be equal to the net charge fo the ion. However, in a neutral molecule , the sum of the oxidation numbers of all the atoms must be zero.

Balance the net equtation fro th reaction of potassium dichromate (VI), `K_(2) Cr_(2) O_(7)`, with sodium sulphite, `Na_(2)SO_(3)`, in an acid solution to give chromium (III) ion and and sulphate ion. Strategy : Follow the seven -step proceduce , one step at a time.

Answer» Step 1 : The skeletal ionic equation is :
`Cr_(2)O_(7)^(2-) (aq) + SO_(3)^(-2) (aq) to Cr^(3+) (aq) + SO_(4)^(2-) (aq)`

Step 2: Assign oxidation numbers for Cr and S
`overset(+6)(Cr_(2))overset(-2)(O_(7)^(2-)) (aq) + overset(+4)(S)overset(-2)(O_(3)^(2-)) (aq) to overset(+3)(Cr)(aq) + overset(+6)(S)overset(-2)(O_(4)^(2-)) (aq)`
This indicates that the dichromate ion is the oxidant and the sulphite ion is the reductant.
Step 3: Calculate the increase and decrease of oxidation number, and make them equal: from step-2 we can notice that there is change in oxidation state of chromium and sulphur. Oxidation state of chromium changes form +6 to +3. There is decrease of +3 in oxidation state of chromium on right hand side of the equation. Oxidation state of sulphur changes from +4 to +6. There is an increase of +2 in the oxidation state of sulphur on right hand side. To make the increase and decrease of oxidation state equal, place numeral 2 before cromium ion on right hand side and numeral 3 before sulphate ion on right hand side and balance the chromium and sulphur atoms on both the sides of the equation. Thus we get
`overset(+6)(Cr_(2))overset(-2)(O_(7)^(2-))(aq) + overset(+4)(3S)overset(-2)(O_(3)^(2-)) (aq) to overset(+3)(2) Cr^(3+) (aq) + 3SO_(4)^(2-)(aq)`
Step 4 : As the reaction occurs in the acidic medium, and further the ionic charges are not equal on both the sides, add 8H+ on the left to make ionic charges equal
`Cr_(2)O_(7)^(2-) (aq) + 3SO_(3)^(2-) (aq) + 8 H^(+) to 2 Cr^(3+) (aq) + 3 SO_(4)^(2-)(aq)`
Step : 5 Finally, count the hydrogen atoms, and add appropriate number of water molecules (i.e., 4`H_(2)O`) on the right to achieve balanced redox change.
`Cr_(2)O_(7)^(2-) (aq) + 3SO_(3)^(2-) (aq) + 8H^(+) (aq) to 2 Cr^(3+) (aq) + 3 SO_(4)^(2-) (aq) + 4H_(2)O (1)`

The standard electrode potential corresponding to the reaction ` Au^(3+) (aq) + 3e^(-) rarr Au (s)` is `1. 42 V`. This implies that . (i) gold dissolves in ` 1M HCl` (ii) metallic gole will be precipitated on passing hydrogen gas through gold salt solution (iii) gold does not dissolve in ` 1M HCl` solution (iv) metallic gold will not be precipitated on passing hydrogen gas through gold salt solution.A. (i), (ii)B. (i), (iv)C. (ii), (iv)D. (ii), (iii)

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Gold will dissolve in `1 M HCl` if it gets oxidized and ` H+` ions fo `HCl` are reduced :
` Au(s) + 3H^(+) (aq.) rarr Au^(3+) (aq.) + 3/2 H_2(g) `
But this is not possible because ` E_(Au//Au^(3+))^(Ө) (-1.42 V)` is less than ` E_(H^+//H_(2))^Ө (0.00V)`.
In other words, the standard reduction potential of gold is greater than zero . Therefore, the reduced from of gold, i.e., Au (s) is mor stable than the reduced from of hydrogen (i.e., `H_2`) i.e., gold cannot be oxidized by ` H^(+)` ions to give ` H_2`. Hence, gold does not dissolve in ` 1M HCl` solution.
Since ` E_(Au^(3+) //Au)^(Ө) (1.42 V)` is greater than ` E_(H^+ //H_2)^Ө` (0.00 V), hydrogen gas passed through the salt solution of gold will reduce auric ions and metallic gold will be percipitated.
