  • question_answer
    An unknown inorganic compound (X) loses its water of crystallization on heating and its aqueous solution gives the following reactions :
    (a) It gives a white turbidity with dilute \[HCl\] solution
    (b) It decolourises a solution of iodine in potassium iodide
    (c)  It gives a white precipitate with silver nitrate solution which turns black on standing.
    Identify the compound (X)

    A) \[N{{a}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}.10{{H}_{2}}O\]       

    B) \[N{{a}_{2}}{{S}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}.5{{H}_{2}}O\]

    C) \[N{{a}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}.10{{H}_{2}}O\]       

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] \[X=N{{a}_{2}}{{S}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}.5{{H}_{2}}O\] \[N{{a}_{2}}{{S}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}+2HCl\xrightarrow{{}}\] \[2NaCl+{{H}_{2}}O+S+S{{O}_{2}}\] \[K{{I}_{3}}+2N{{a}_{2}}{{S}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}\xrightarrow{{}}\] \[KI+2NaI+N{{a}_{2}}{{S}_{4}}{{O}_{6}}\]\[2AgN{{O}_{3}}+N{{a}_{2}}{{S}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}\xrightarrow{{}}\] \[A{{g}_{2}}{{S}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}+2NaN{{O}_{3}}\] \[A{{g}_{2}}{{S}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}+{{H}_{2}}O\xrightarrow{{}}A{{g}_{2}}S+{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\]
