Question

Answer the following.

What is the oxidation state of ‘S’ in H2SO4?

Short Note

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
