    In which of the following reactions, there is no change in valency?

    A)  \[S{{O}_{2}}+2{{H}_{2}}S\xrightarrow{{}}2{{H}_{2}}O+3S\]

    B)  \[2Na+{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}N{{a}_{2}}{{O}_{2}}\]

    C)  \[N{{a}_{2}}O+{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\xrightarrow{{}}N{{a}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}+{{H}_{2}}{{O}_{2}}\]

    D)  \[4KCl{{O}_{3}}\xrightarrow{{}}3KCl{{O}_{4}}+KCl\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [a] \[\overset{+4}{\mathop{S}}\,{{O}_{2}}+2{{H}_{2}}\overset{2-}{\mathop{S}}\,\xrightarrow{{}}2{{H}_{2}}O+3\overset{0}{\mathop{S}}\,\] [b] \[2\overset{0}{\mathop{N}}\,a+{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}{{\overset{+1}{\mathop{Na}}\,}_{2}}{{O}_{2}}\] [c]\[{{\overset{+1}{\mathop{Na}}\,}_{2}}\overset{-1}{\mathop{O}}\,+{{\overset{+1-2}{\mathop{{{H}_{2}}SO}}\,}_{4}}\xrightarrow{{}}{{\overset{+1}{\mathop{Na}}\,}_{2}}\overset{-2}{\mathop{S}}\,{{O}_{4}}+\overset{+1}{\mathop{{{H}_{2}}}}\,\overset{-1}{\mathop{{{O}_{2}}}}\,\] [d] \[\overset{+5}{\mathop{4KCl{{O}_{3}}}}\,\xrightarrow{{}}\overset{+7}{\mathop{3KCl{{O}_{4}}}}\,+KCl\] Therefore, only in Eq. [c],  there is no change in valency.
