Select ALL correct statements.

  1. A is a comproportionation reaction
  2. BIn , each molecule gains 4 electrons
  3. C0.10 mol of with excess and acid gives 0.30 mol of
  4. DIn , the sulphur of is reduced

Answer: A, B, C

In the first reaction I (+5) and I (-1) converge on I (0), which is comproportionation, and the mole ratio : is 1 : 3, so 0.10 mol gives 0.30 mol. In the second, S goes from +4 to 0, a gain of 4 electrons per . The S of goes from -2 to 0, so it is oxidised, not reduced.
