Answer 1

Let X be the oxidation number of S in H

2

SO

4

.

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

2(+1)+X+4(−2)=0

2+X−8=0

X−6=0

X=+6

Hence, the oxidation number of S in H

2

SO

4

is +6

Answer 2

Answer:

1) mg/mg²

2)+6

Explanation:

1)the addtion of oxygen is known oxidation proce

2) oxidation number of oxygen is -2

oxidation number of hydrogen is 1

1(2)+x+4(-2)=0

2+x-8=0

x-6=0

x=+6
