Question
Answer the following.
What is the oxidation state of ‘S’ in H2SO4?
Advertisements
Solution
(Oxidation number of H) + (Oxidation number of S) + (Oxidation number of O) = 0
2 × (+1) + (Oxidation number of S) + 4 × (- 2) = 0
Oxidation number of S + 2 - 8 = 0
Hence, oxidation number of ‘S’ in H2SO4 = +6
