The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both statements regarding the preparation of sodium thiosulphate (Na₂S₂O₃) and the reactions involved. ### Step-by-Step Solution: **Step 1: Understanding Statement 1** - Statement 1 claims that sodium thiosulphate (Na₂S₂O₃) is not prepared by boiling sodium sulfite (Na₂SO₃) with sulfur (S) in an acidic medium. - This implies that the reaction between Na₂SO₃ and S in the presence of an acid does not yield Na₂S₂O₃. **Hint for Step 1:** Consider the nature of the reactants and the expected products when mixed in an acidic medium. **Step 2: Analyzing Statement 2** - Statement 2 provides a reaction: Na₂SO₃ + H⁺ → 2Na⁺ + H₂SO₃ + S. - This indicates that when sodium sulfite reacts with hydrogen ions (from the acidic medium), it decomposes into sodium ions, sulfurous acid (H₂SO₃), and sulfur (S). **Hint for Step 2:** Look at how the presence of H⁺ ions affects the decomposition of sodium sulfite. **Step 3: Evaluating the Reaction** - The reaction suggests that instead of forming sodium thiosulphate, the sodium sulfite decomposes to produce sulfur and sulfurous acid. - Therefore, the presence of H⁺ ions prevents the formation of sodium thiosulphate. **Hint for Step 3:** Think about how acidic conditions can influence the stability and formation of different chemical species. **Step 4: Conclusion on Statements** - Since the reaction in Statement 2 shows that Na₂SO₃ does not yield Na₂S₂O₃ in acidic conditions, Statement 1 is true. - Statement 2 is also true as it correctly describes the reaction that occurs. - Additionally, Statement 2 serves as a correct explanation for Statement 1. **Hint for Step 4:** Confirm if both statements are logically connected and if one explains the other. ### Final Answer: - Statement 1 is true. - Statement 2 is true. - Statement 2 is the correct explanation for Statement 1. Thus, the correct option is that both statements are true, and Statement 2 explains Statement 1.
