Sulphur on boiling with $\mathrm{NaOH}$ solution forms

Sulphur on boiling with $\mathrm{NaOH}$ solution forms
  1. $\mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{S}_2 \mathrm{O}_{3}+\mathrm{Na}_{\mathrm{2}} \mathrm{S}$
  2. $\mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{SO}_3+\mathrm{SO}_2$
  3. $\mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{~S}_2 \mathrm{O}_3+\mathrm{NaHSO}_3$
  4. $\mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{SO}_3+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{~S}$

Solution

When sulphur boiled with $\mathrm{NaOH}$ solution forms $\mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{~S}_2 \mathrm{O}_3$ and $\mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{~S}$. $4 \mathrm{~S}+6 \mathrm{NaOH} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{~S}_2 \mathrm{O}_3+2 \mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{~S}+3 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$ It is a disproportionation reaction.
