In an experiment,$50 \ mL$ of $0.1 \ M$ solution of a metal salt reacted with $25 \ mL$ of $0.1 \ M$ solution of sodium sulphite. The half-equation for the oxidation of sulphite ion is $SO_3^{2-}{(aq)} + H_2O_{(l)} \to SO_4^{2-}{(aq)} + 2H^{+}{(aq)} + 2e^-$. If the oxidation number of the metal in the salt was $3$,what would be the new oxidation number of the metal?

  • A
    $0$
  • B
    $1$
  • C
    $2$
  • D
    $4$
