What is molecular state of Sulphur as reactant in the reaction? Sulphur $$+12OH^{-} \longrightarrow 4S^{2-}+2S_{2}O^{2-}_{3}+3H_{2}O$$

A$$S^{2-}_{8}$$
B$$2S^{2-}_{4}$$
C$$S_{8}$$
Correct Answer
D$$S^{-}_{8}$$

Solution

In the given reaction
the charge in LHS & RHS is balanced & we have to find the molecular state of sulphur.
In RHS the total sulphur atoms present is $$8$$ so in RHS also total $$S$$ aoms present is $$8$$ so the molecular state of $$S$$ is $$S_8$$.
