AIIMS 2018 Chemistry Oxidation and Reduction MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11

Blue colour disappears in which solution by passing SO2\text{SO}_2

A

CrO42−+H2SO4\text{CrO}_4^{2-} + \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4

B

I2+Starch\text{I}_2 + \text{Starch}

C

CuSO4\text{CuSO}_4

D

I2\text{I}_2

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

In the reaction between iodine (I₂) and sulfur dioxide (SO₂), iodine is reduced to iodide ions (I⁻), while sulfur dioxide is oxidized to sulfate ions (SO₄²⁻). This transfer of electrons characterizes a reduction-oxidation (redox) reaction, making option B the correct choice. Option A (oxidation) is incorrect because it only describes half of the process; option C (displacement) does not apply as there is no element being displaced; and option D (neutralization) is irrelevant since no acid-base reaction is occurring.
