    Which of the following changes require an oxidising agent?

    A)  \[2{{S}_{2}}O_{3}^{2-}{{S}_{4}}O_{6}^{2-}\]

    B)  \[Z{{n}^{2+}}Zn\]

    C)  \[Cl{{O}^{-}}C{{l}^{-}}\]

    D)  \[S{{O}_{3}}SO_{4}^{2-}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    In the reaction; \[{{S}_{2}}O_{3}^{2-}\xrightarrow{{}}{{S}_{4}}O_{6}^{2-};\] the oxidation state of sulphur changes from 2 to higher oxidation state 2.5. Thus, this change requires an oxidising agent.
