JEE Main levelOne or more correct optionsDifficulty 2 of 3eq175

Which of the following statements about n-factors is/are correct?

  1. AThe n-factor of when it is converted to is 2.
  2. BThe n-factor of in complete neutralisation by is 2.
  3. CThe n-factor of is 1 when it is reduced to in strongly basic medium.
  4. DThe n-factor of acting as an acid towards is 1.

Answer: B, C, D

is dibasic (n = 2) and is monobasic (n = 1). Reduction of to is a one-electron change (n = 1). Two thiosulphate ions together lose 2 electrons to give , so n for is 1, not 2.
