Consider the following representation of oxy-acid, `H_(n_(1))S_(2)O_(n_(2))`, (where S is central sulphur atom annd `n_(1) and n_(2)` are natural numbers.) if there are two possible oxy-acid of sulphur A and B contains ratio of `n_(2):n_(1)` are 2 and 4 respectively, then sum of oxidation state of 'S' atom in both oxy-acid will be:

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the oxidation states of sulfur in two oxyacids of sulfur, A and B, based on the given ratios of \( n_2:n_1 \) which are 2 and 4 respectively. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the General Formula**: The general formula for the oxyacid is \( H_{n_1}S_2O_{n_2} \). 2. **Determine the Oxyacids**: Given the ratios: - For oxyacid A, \( n_2:n_1 = 2 \): This means \( n_2 = 2 \) and \( n_1 = 1 \). Thus, the formula is \( H_2S_2O_4 \) (which is sulfuric acid). - For oxyacid B, \( n_2:n_1 = 4 \): This means \( n_2 = 4 \) and \( n_1 = 2 \). Thus, the formula is \( H_2S_2O_8 \) (which is peroxy disulfuric acid). 3. **Calculate the Oxidation State for Oxyacid A (H2S2O4)**: - Let the oxidation state of sulfur be \( x \). - The equation based on the charge balance is: \[ 2(+1) + 2x + 4(-2) = 0 \] - Simplifying this: \[ 2 + 2x - 8 = 0 \implies 2x - 6 = 0 \implies 2x = 6 \implies x = +3 \] - Therefore, the oxidation state of sulfur in \( H_2S_2O_4 \) is +3. 4. **Calculate the Oxidation State for Oxyacid B (H2S2O8)**: - Again, let the oxidation state of sulfur be \( y \). - The equation based on the charge balance is: \[ 2(+1) + 2y + 8(-2) = 0 \] - Simplifying this: \[ 2 + 2y - 16 = 0 \implies 2y - 14 = 0 \implies 2y = 14 \implies y = +7 \] - Therefore, the oxidation state of sulfur in \( H_2S_2O_8 \) is +7. 5. **Sum of Oxidation States**: - Now, we sum the oxidation states of sulfur from both oxyacids: \[ +3 + +7 = +10 \] ### Final Answer: The sum of the oxidation states of sulfur in both oxyacids A and B is **10**.
