Question

what do you understand by the term oxidation number ? calculate the oxidation state of H2SO4​

Answer 1

Answer:

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 H2​SO4​is +6.

Explanation:

in simple equatiion

Let X be the oxidation number of S in H2 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 SO4 is +6.
