- BS 2 O 8 2 -
- CSO 3 2 -
- DSO 4 2 -
Correct answer
D. SO 4 2 -
Step-by-step solution
KMnO 4 is a strong oxidising agent in acidic,alkaline or neutral medium as well Thiosulphate is oxidised almost quantitatively to sulphate: 8 MnO 4 + - 3 S 2 O 3 + 2 - H 2 O ⟶ 8 MnO 2 + 6 SO 4 + 2 - 2 OH - The equivalent weight of KMnO 4 in the above reaction = 158 5
