    Oxidation of thiosulphate ion by iodine gives

    A)  \[SO_{3}^{2-}\]                               

    B)  \[SO_{4}^{2-}\]

    C)  \[{{S}_{4}}O_{6}^{2-}\]                

    D)  \[{{S}_{2}}O_{5}^{2-}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                     Iodine oxidises thiosulphate ion into tetrathionate ion. \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  thiosulphate \\  \,\,\,\,\,\,ion \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{2{{S}_{2}}O_{3}^{2-}}}\,+{{I}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  tetrathionate \\  \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,ion \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{{{S}_{4}}O_{6}^{2-}}}\,+2{{I}^{-}}\]
