Identify the reaction in which monobasic and dibasic acids are formed.

Observe the following reaction:
$xS_{8\text{(s)}} + yOH^{-}{_{\text{(aq)}}} \rightarrow zS^{2-}{_{\text{(aq)}}} + 2S_2O_3^{2-}{_{\text{(aq)}}} + 6H_2O_{\text{(l)}}$
Find the values of $x, y$ and $z$ respectively.

In the ionic equation $BiO_{3}^{-} + 6H^{+} + x e^{-} \longrightarrow Bi^{3+} + 3H_{2}O$,the value of $x$ is:

The following reaction occurs in acidic medium: $KMnO_4 + 8 H^{+} + 5 e^{-} \longrightarrow K^{+} + Mn^{2+} + 4 H_2O$. What is the equivalent weight of $KMnO_4$? (Molecular weight of $KMnO_4 = 158$)

Assertion : When a metal is treated with conc. $HNO_3$,it generally yields a nitrate,$NO_2$,and $H_2O$.
Reason : Conc. $HNO_3$ reacts with a metal and first produces a metal nitrate and nascent hydrogen. The nascent hydrogen then further reduces $HNO_3$ to $NO_2$.

The oxidation state of chromium in the final product formed in the reaction between $KI$ and acidified $K_{2}Cr_{2}O_{7}$ solution is:
