The oxidation number of `S` in `H_(2)S_(2)O_(8)` is

A

`+8`

B

`-8`

C

`+6`

D

`+4`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
In`H_(2)S_(2) O_(8)` , two O atoms form peroxide linkage i.e.
`H-O-underset( O)underset( darr)overset( O) overset( uarr)(S)-O-O-underset( O)underset( darr)overset(O)overset( uarr)(-)S-O-H`
`2 xx1 + 2a + 6( -2) + 2 ( - 1) =0`
`:. a = + 6`
Thus the O.N. of S in `H_(2) S_(2) O_(8)` is `+ 6`
