    The oxidation number of sulphur in \[{{H}_{2}}{{S}_{2}}{{O}_{7}}\] and iron in \[{{K}_{4}}Fe{{(CN)}_{6}}\] is respectively       [AIIMS 2000]

    A)                 + 6 and + 2

    B)                 + 2 and  + 2

    C)                 + 8 and + 2         

    D)                 + 6 and  + 4

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

           \[\overset{*\,}{\mathop{{{H}_{2}}{{S}_{2}}{{O}_{7}}}}\,\]            \[2\times (+1)+2\times x+7\times (-2)=0\]            \[+2+2x-14=0\]            \[2x=14-2=12\]            \[x=\frac{12}{2}=+6\,\,\text{for}\,\,S\]            \[{{K}_{4}}\overset{*\,\,}{\mathop{Fe}}\,{{(CN)}_{6}}\]            \[4\times (+1)\,x+6\times (-1)=0\]            \[4+x-6=0\]                                 \[x=6-4=+2\,\,\text{for}\,\,Fe\].
