Answer 1

find the oxidation state of sulphur in following compounds-

H2S

H2SO4

S2O4^2-

HSO3^-

Good question,

Here is your perfect answer!

1) H2S

= +2 + S = 0

= S = - 2,

2) H2 SO4

= +2 + S + 4(-2) = 0

= +2 + S - 8 = 0

= S = - 6,

3) S2 O4^2-

= 2S + 4(-2) = - 2

= 2S = - 2+8

= S = 3,

4) HSO3^-

= +1 + S +3(-2) = - 1

= S = 4.

Answer 2

Answer:

● H2S

Solution ==) + 2 + S = 0

= S = - 2

●H2SO4

Solution ==) + 2 + S + 4 (-2) = 0

= + 2 + S - 4 = 0

= S = - 6

●S2O4^3

Solution ==) 2S + 4 (-2) = - 2

= 2S = - 2 + 8

= S = 3

●HSO3^-

Solution ==) + 1 + S + 3 ( -2 )= - 1

= S = 4
