Question

Calculate the oxidation number of atom in H2So4

​

Answer 1

Explanation:

add the oxidation numbers of all known elements and then sum it all up. Oxygen is -2. Hence -8 for four Oxygen's. Hydrogen is +1.

Answer 2

Answer:

your ans is 6

Explanation:

Let X be the oxidation number of S in H2SO4. 

The oxidation  number of hydrogen is +1 and the oxidation number of oxygen is -2.

2(+1)+X+4(−2)=02+X−8=0X−6=0X=+6

Hence, the oxidation number of S in H2SO4is +6.
