Calculate the oxidattion numer of the atoms marked with (*)Compounds given below:
`H_(2)overset**(S)_(2)O_(8)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`H_(2)S_(2)O_(8)`:`HO-underset(O)underset(||)overset(O)overset(||)(S)-O-O-underset(O)underset(||)overset(O)overset(||)(S)-OH`
Let the oxidation number os S in `H_(2)S_(2)O_(8)=x`
`therefore underset(("For"H))(2xx(+1))+2xxx+underset(("ForO"))(6xx(-2))+underset(("ForO in peroxide bonds"))(2xx(-1))=0`
`therefore x=+6`
So ,the oxidation number of S in `H_(2)S_(2)O_(8)NO=+6`.
