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

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine which of the compounds SO₂, H₂SO₄, and sodium thiosulfate (Na₂S₂O₃) has sulfur in the highest oxidation state, we will calculate the oxidation state of sulfur in each compound step by step. ### Step 1: Calculate the oxidation state of sulfur in SO₂ 1. Let the oxidation state of sulfur be \( x \). 2. The oxidation state of oxygen is \(-2\). 3. The compound is neutral, so the sum of oxidation states must equal 0: \[ ...
