Q.
In neutral or faintly alkaline solution, 8 moles of permanganate anion quantitatively oxidize thiosulphate anions to produce X moles of a sulphur containing product. The magnitude of X is
8MnO4−+3S2O32−+H2O→8MnO2+6SO42−+2OH⊖
8 moles of permanganate anion quantitatively oxidize thiosulphate anions to produce 6 moles of a sulphate ion product
