Calculate the oxidation number of each sulphur atom in the following compounds.
(a) `Na_(2)S_(2)O_(3)``" "`(b)`Na_(2)S_(4)O_(6)``" "`( c)`Na_(2)SO_(3)``" "`(d)`Na_(2)SO_(4)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let O.N. of S be x
(a) `Na_2S_2O_3`
`2(+1)+2(x)+3(-2)=0 " or "2x=+4" or "x=+2`
(c) `Na_2SO_3`
`2(+1)+x+3(-2)=0 " or "x=+4`
(d) `Na_2SO_4`
`2(+1) +x +4(-2)=0 " or "x=+6`
