    The oxidation number of S in \[{{H}_{2}}{{S}_{2}}{{O}_{8}}\]  is:

    A)  \[+6\]                  

    B)         \[-6\]

    C)  \[+4\]                  

    D)         \[+8\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    The oxidation of S in \[{{H}_{2}}{{S}_{2}}{{O}_{8}}\] is \[2+2x+(8\times -2)=0\],              \[2+2x-16=0\] \[2x=14=7\] This is wrong. Because this is perdi-sulphuric acid. It is called Marshal acid also.   \[H-O-\underset{O}{\mathop{\underset{||}{\mathop{\overset{O}{\mathop{\overset{||}{\mathop{S}}\,}}\,}}\,}}\,-\overset{-1}{\mathop{O}}\,-\overset{-1}{\mathop{O}}\,-\underset{O}{\mathop{\underset{||}{\mathop{\overset{O}{\mathop{\overset{||}{\mathop{S}}\,}}\,}}\,}}\,-O-H\] \[2+2x+(2\times -1)+(6\times -2)=0\]                 \[2+2x-2-12=0\]                 \[2+2x-14=0\] \[2x=12=6\]
