The oxidation numbers of the sulphur atoms in pcroxy- monosulphuric acid `(H_(2)SO_(5))` and peroxydisulphuric acid `(H_(2)S_(2)O_(8))` are respectively.

A

`+4`

B

`+2`

C

`+6`

D

`-2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`H_(2)SO_(5)`
`H-O-underset(O)underset(darr)overset(O)overset(uarr)S-O-O-H`
Oxidation number of O in peroxo linkage = - 1
Oxidation number of other O atoms = - 2
`+2+x-6-2=0` or `x=+6`
