Multiple Choice Options

  • A S2O72−\mathrm{S}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{7}^{2-}
  • B S2O82−\mathrm{S}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{8}^{2-}
  • C SO32−\mathrm{SO}_{3}^{2-}
  • D SO42−\mathrm{SO}_{4}^{2-}

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

8MnO4−+3 S2O32−+H2O→8MnO2+6SO42−+8 \mathrm{MnO}_{4}^{-}+3 \mathrm{~S}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}^{2-}+ \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\rightarrow 8 \mathrm{MnO}_{2}+6 \mathrm{SO}_{4}^{2-}+ 2OH−2 \mathrm{OH}^{-}
