     The oxidation number of sulphur in \[{{H}_{2}}{{S}_{2}}{{O}_{7}}\] is:      

    A)  \[+2\]   

    B)                                         \[+6\]                       

    C)                         \[+4\]                  

    D)         \[+8\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Let the oxidation number of S be x \[{{H}_{2}}{{S}_{2}}{{O}_{7}}\] \[\therefore \]  \[2\times 1+2x+7\times -2=0\] \[x+=6\] Oxidation number of \[S=+6\] \[{{H}_{2}}{{S}_{2}}{{O}_{7}}\] is oleum. \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  Suphuric \\  acid \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}}}\,+S{{O}_{3}}\to \underset{Oleum}{\mathop{{{H}_{2}}{{S}_{2}}{{O}_{7}}}}\,\xrightarrow{HOH}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  Sulphuric \\  acid \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{2{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}}}\,\]
