JEE Main levelOne or more correct optionsDifficulty 2 of 3eq028
Select the correct n-factor(s) per formula unit of the species named, for the stated change.
AKMnOX4 in acidic medium: 5
BKX2CrX2OX7 in acidic medium (CrX3+): 6
CNaX2SX2OX3 oxidised by IX2 to NaX2SX4OX6: 2
DHX2OX2 acting as reductant (OX2): 2
Answer: A, B, D
Thiosulfate: 2SX2OX3X2−SX4OX6X2−+2eX−, so each formula unit loses only 1 electron and n=1 (option 3 is wrong). Permanganate 7→2 gives 5, dichromate 2×(6→3)=6, and HX2OX2 (two O atoms, −1→0) gives 2.
