Question:
One mole of aqueous $ \text{SO}_3^{2-} $ is completely reacted with 2 moles of $ \text{Br}_2 (l) $. What is the oxidation state (s) of S in the product formed?
One mole of aqueous $ \text{SO}_3^{2-} $ is completely reacted with 2 moles of $ \text{Br}_2 (l) $. What is the oxidation state (s) of S in the product formed?
Show Hint
Oxidation reactions often involve an increase in oxidation states. Check the change in oxidation number to identify the correct oxidation state.

- \( 0, +5 \)
- \( +6 \)
- \( -2, +4 \)
- \( +4 \)

The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
In the reaction, \( \text{SO}_3^{2-} \) is oxidized to \( \text{SO}_4^{2-} \), where sulfur is in the +6 oxidation state. Since there is no reduction of sulfur in this case, the oxidation state of sulfur in the product is \( +6 \).
