Question

The oxidation state of sulphur in the products of the reaction of s8 in basic medium are

Answer 1

Answer:

acidic nature

Explanation:

Answer 2

The oxidation state of sulphur in the products of the reaction of S₈ in basic medium are -2 and +2.

- The reaction of S₈ in basic medium can be shown as:

S₈ + 12 OH⁻ = 4 S²⁻ + 2 S₂O₃²⁻ + 6 H₂O

- The products formed in this reaction are S²⁻ and S₂O₃²⁻

- The oxidation states of sulphur in S²⁻ is -2 and in S₂O₃²⁻ oxidation state is +2.
