Among the `SO_(2), H_(2)SO_(4)` and sodium thiosulphate, sulphur has the highest oxidation state in

A

`SO_(2)`

B

`H_(2)SO_(4)`

C

Sodium thiosulphate

D

Same in all

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Oxidation state of S, in `SO_(2) implies x-4=0 implies x=+4`.
In `H_(2)SO_(4) implies 2+x-8=0implies x=+6`
In `Na_(2)S_(2)O_(3) implies 2+2x,-6=0 implies x=+4`.
`therefore `Oxidation state of S is highest in `H_(2)SO_(4)`.
