    \[S{{O}_{2}}\] acts as an oxidant when it reacts with :

    A)  Acidified \[KMn{{O}_{4}}\]

    B)  Acidified \[{{K}_{2}}C{{r}_{2}}{{O}_{7}}\]

    C)  \[{{H}_{2}}S\]

    D)  Acidified \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}OH\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    In \[KMn{{O}_{4}},\,{{K}_{2}}C{{r}_{2}}{{O}_{7}}\,\And \,{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}OH\]\[Mn(+7)\,,\,\,Cr(+6),\,\,C(+4)\] are present in their max. oxidation state, so they cannot be further oxidised but in \[{{H}_{2}}S,\] S(-2) is present in its minimum oxidation state so it can be oxidised by \[S{{O}_{2}}\]
