S₈(s) + 12NaOH(aq) → 4Na₂S(aq) + 2Na₂S₂O₃(aq) + 6H₂O(l)
Here:
A = S₈(s)
B = Na₂S(aq)
C = Na₂S₂O₃(aq)
The oxidation states of sulfur in the given equation is A, B, and C are respectively:
| Statement I: | Displacement redox reactions can be classified into metal displacement and non-metal displacement. |
| Statement II: | The non-metal displacement redox reactions include hydrogen displacement but rarely oxygen displacement. |
| 1. | Both Statement I and Statement II are correct. |
| 2. | Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect. |
| 3. | Statement I is correct and Statement II is incorrect. |
| 4. | Statement I is incorrect and Statement II is correct. |
| Assertion (A): | HClO4 is a stronger acid than HClO3. |
| Reason (R): | The oxidation state of Cl in HClO4 is +8 and in HClO3 is +5. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True, and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True, and (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | (A) is True, but (R) is False. |
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
| Statement I: | In some cases, oxygen shows a positive oxidation number, though it is an electronegative element. |
| Statement II: | Fluorine is more electronegative than oxygen. |
| 1. | Statement I is false but Statement II is true. |
| 2. | Both Statement I and Statement II are true. |
| 3. | Both Statement I and Statement II are false. |
| 4. | Statement I is true but Statement II is false. |
| Assertion (A): | HNO3 acts as an oxidizing agent. |
| Reason (R): |
The oxidation state of nitrogen in HNO₃ is +5, which cannot increase further. Thus, the oxidation state of nitrogen in HNO₃ can only decrease. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
