JEE Main & Advanced Chemistry Redox Reactions / रेडॉक्स अभिक्रियाएँ Question Bank Oxidizing and Reducing agent

  • question_answer
    In the reaction                 \[HAs{{O}_{2}}+S{{n}^{2+}}\to As+S{{n}^{4+}}+{{H}_{2}}O\] oxidising agent is [BVP 2004]

    A)                 \[S{{n}^{2+}}\] 

    B)                 \[S{{n}^{4+}}\]

    C)                 \[As\]   

    D)                 \[HAs{{O}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

               Oxidizing agent itself, undergoes reduction during a redox reaction            \[\overset{+3}{\mathop{HAs{{O}_{2}}}}\,+\overset{+2}{\mathop{Sn}}\,\xrightarrow{{}}\,\overset{0}{\mathop{As}}\,+\overset{2+}{\mathop{Sn}}\,+{{H}_{2}}O\]                                 Hence, here \[HAs{{O}_{2}}\]is acting as oxidizing agent.
