Question

Colourless salt $A$ decolorises $I_{2}$ solution and gives white precipitate (changing to black) with $A g N O_{3}$ solution. $A$ also changes $F e C l_{3}$ (yellow) solution to $F e C l_{2}$ (green). Identify $A$ ?

Solution

The correct option is C $N a_{2} S_{2} O_{3}$
Colourless salt $A$ decolorises $I_{2}$ solution and gives white precipitate (changing to black) with $A g N O_{3}$ solution. $A$ also changes $F e C l_{3}$ (yellow) solution to $F e C l_{2}$ (green).
Hence, $A$ is $N a_{2} S_{2} O_{3}$ .
$N a_{2} S_{2} O_{3} + 2 A g N O_{3} ⟶ A g_{2} S_{2} O_{3} w h i t e p p t ↓ + 2 N a N O_{3}$
$A g_{2} S_{2} O_{3} + H_{2} O ⟶ H_{2} S O_{4} + A g_{2} S b l a c k ↓$
$2 F e C l_{3} y e l l o w + 2 N a_{2} S_{2} O_{3} ⟶ 2 F e C l_{2} g r e e n + N a_{2} S_{4} O_{6} + 2 N a C l$
