    In the following reaction, \[A{{s}_{2}}{{S}_{3}}+{{H}^{+}}+NO_{3}^{-}\xrightarrow{{}}\]\[NO+{{H}_{2}}O+AsO_{4}^{3-}+SO_{4}^{2-},\] the equivalent weight of \[A{{s}_{2}}{{S}_{3}}\] is related to molecular weight by

    A) \[\frac{M}{14}\]

    B) \[\frac{M}{28}\]

    C) \[\frac{M}{7}\]

    D) \[\frac{M}{10}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] Idea This problem is based on concept of n-factor determination and their equivalent wt. determination.
    ? Determine the n-factor first
    ? Then, equivalent wt. \[=\frac{\text{molecular wt}.}{\text{n-factor}}\]
    Oxidation state of As \[O_{4}^{3-}=x-2\times 4=-3\]
    \[x-8=-3\]
    \[x=5\]
    Oxidation state of S in \[SO_{4}^{2-}=x-2\times 4=-2\]
    \[x-2+8=+6\]
    n-factor = Sum of positive oxidation states
    = Total oxidation state of \[2AsO_{4}^{3-}\] + Total oxidation state of \[SO_{4}^{2-}\]
    \[=2\times 5+3\times 6=10+18=28\]
    Equivalent wt. \[=\frac{M}{28}\]
    TEST Edge Question related to determination of equivalent wt. of different sols, in different medium may also be asked frequently so, students are advised to study equivalent wt. of \[KMn{{O}_{4}}\] in acidic, basic and neutral medium.
