Solution
The correct option is D0.12N Here the chemical reaction looks like Na2S2O3+KBrO3+KI+H+→Na2S4O6+KBr+NaI+H2O
From the equation we can say that
n-factor of Na2S2O3 = 1
n-factor of KBrO3 = 6
Applying law of equivalence here,
eq. of KBrO3 = eq. of Na2S2O3 0.167(1676)=N×50×10−3 =0.12N
Therefore, the correct answer is option (b)
