MCQ
Bleaching action of $S{O_2}$ is due to its
  • A
    Oxidising property and nitrogen 
  • B
    Acidic property
  • C
    Basic property
  • Reducing property

Answer

Correct option: D.
Reducing property
d
(d) $S{O_2}$ act as bleaching agent due to its reducing property.

$S{O_2} + 2{H_2}O \to {H_2}S{O_4} + 2H$

The decomposition reaction $2 N _2 O _5( g ) \xrightarrow{\Delta} 2 N _2 O _4( g )+ O _2( g )$ is started in a closed cylinder under isothermal isochoric condition at an initial pressure of $1 atm$. After $Y \times 10^3 s$, the pressure inside the cylinder is found to be $1.45 atm$. If the rate constant of the reaction is $5 \times 10^{-4} s ^{-1}$, assuming ideal gas behavior, the value of $Y$ is. . . . . . . .
