Solution

The correct option is B 0.010 M
1 mole of Cl2 (oxidation state =0) changes to 2 moles of Cl (oxidation state =1).

Net change in oxidation state =2×12×0=2

1 mole of Na2S2O3 (average oxidation state of S is 2) changes to 1 mole of NaSO4 (oxidation state of S is 6) and 1 mole of S.

Net change in oxidation state =1×61×02×2=2

Hence, 1 mole of Cl2 oxidizes 1 mole of Na2S2O3.

Hence, moles of sulphate formed =5×1041=5×104

Molarity of sulphate =5×1040.05=0.01 M

Hence, the correct option is (D)
