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

    A) +2                                          

    B) +4

    C) + 6                                         

    D) +7

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    The chemical structure of \[{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{S}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{8}}}\]is as follows: \[H-O-\underset{O}{\overset{O}{\mathop{\underset{||}{\overset{|\,|}{\mathop{S}}}\,}}}\,-O-O-\underset{O}{\overset{O}{\mathop{\underset{|\,|}{\overset{|\,|}{\mathop{S}}}\,}}}\,-O-H\] Let the oxidation number of is \['x'\]
    \[2\times (+1)\] \[+2\times x\] \[+6\times (-2)\] \[+2\times (-1)\] \[=0\]
    For H For S For O For(O-O)
    \[2+2x-12-2=0\] \[2x=12\] \[x=+6\]
