In the chemical reaction `Cl_(2)+H_(2)S rarr 2HCl + S`, the oxidation number of sulphur changes from

A

0 to 2

B

2 to 0

C

`-2` to 0

D

`-2` to -1

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Oxidation state of sulphur in `H_(2)S` is -2, white it is zero in 'S' i.e. in this reaction oxidation of sulphur and reduction of chlorine takes place.
