Which of the following species is basic and reducing ?

A

`SO_3^(2-)`

B

`SO_4^(2)`

C

`S_2O_4^(2)`

D

`HSO_4`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Only `SO_3^(2-)` is basic and reducing.
All the given four species are bases (accept `H^+` ion) but only `SO_3^(2-)` can easily act as an reducing agent, as it can easily be oxidised to `SO_4^(2-)`
