Question

the process of SO2 gives S2CL2 is

Answer 1

Answer:

Eq. Wt of S is 16in SCl2 i.e. 32÷2 =16

So in S2Cl2 32×2=64 now eq mass=molarmass÷ valancy i.e 64÷2=32

Answer 2

Answer : The correct option is, (a) Reduction.

Explanation :

Oxidation reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element increases.

The loss of electrons is also known as oxidation.

The gain of oxygen is also known as oxidation.

The loss of hydrogen is also known as oxidation.

Reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element decreases.

The gain of electrons is also known as reduction.

The loss of oxygen is also known as reduction.

The gain of hydrogen is also known as reduction.

The given reaction is,

$SO_2\rightarrow S_2Cl_2$

In this reaction, the oxidation state of sulfur (S) changes from (+4) to (+1) that means the oxidation state decrease. So, it shows reduction.

Or we can say that, the loss of oxygen is known as reduction as per definition.

Hence, the correct option is (a) reduction.
