STATEMENT-1 : In the balanced redox reaction,
`x As_(2)S_(3)+y NO_(3)^(-)+4H_(2)Orarr aAsO_(4)^(3-)+bNO+cSO_(4)^(2-)+8H^(+)` the n-factor of `As_(2)S_(3)` and `NO_(3)^(-)` is 28 and 3 respectively.
Statement-2 : Molar ratio is reciprocal of n-factor's ratio so `x : t` is `3 : 28`.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the statements regarding the balanced redox reaction and the n-factors of the reactants involved. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reactants and Products**: The balanced redox reaction is given as: \[ x \, \text{As}_2\text{S}_3 + y \, \text{NO}_3^{-} + 4 \, \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow a \, \text{AsO}_4^{3-} + b \, \text{NO} + c \, \text{SO}_4^{2-} + 8 \, \text{H}^{+} \] 2. **Determine the n-factor of As\(_2\)S\(_3\)**: - The oxidation state of As in As\(_2\)S\(_3\) is calculated. Sulfur (S) has an oxidation state of -2, so: \[ 2x + 3(-2) = 0 \implies 2x - 6 = 0 \implies x = +3 \] - In the product AsO\(_4^{3-}\), the oxidation state of As is +5. - The change in oxidation state for each As atom is from +3 to +5 (2 electrons lost per As atom). Since there are 2 As atoms, the total change is: \[ 2 \text{ electrons} \times 2 = 4 \text{ electrons lost} \] - Additionally, S in As\(_2\)S\(_3\) is converted to SO\(_4^{2-}\) (oxidation state +6). The change for S is from -2 to +6 (8 electrons lost). - Therefore, for 2 S atoms, the total change is: \[ 8 \text{ electrons} \times 2 = 16 \text{ electrons lost} \] - Total n-factor for As\(_2\)S\(_3\): \[ 4 + 16 = 20 \text{ electrons} \] 3. **Determine the n-factor of NO\(_3^{-}\)**: - NO\(_3^{-}\) is reduced to NO. The oxidation states are: - In NO\(_3^{-}\), N is +5. - In NO, N is +2. - The change in oxidation state is from +5 to +2 (3 electrons gained). - Thus, the n-factor for NO\(_3^{-}\) is 3. 4. **Establish the Relationship Between n-factors and Molar Ratios**: - The n-factor of As\(_2\)S\(_3\) is 28 and for NO\(_3^{-}\) is 3. - The molar ratio is the reciprocal of the n-factor ratio: \[ \frac{x}{y} = \frac{n_{NO_3^{-}}}{n_{As_2S_3}} = \frac{3}{28} \] 5. **Conclusion**: - The statement that the molar ratio \(x : y\) is \(3 : 28\) is correct based on the n-factors calculated. ### Final Answer: The correct answer is that the molar ratio \(x : y\) is indeed \(3 : 28\). ---
