What is the oxidation number of SO42?

As SO42- has an overall -2 charge, The Oxygen has a -2 oxidation state, so to balance and give an overall -2 charge, the Sulfur has to have a +6 oxidation state. (-2 x 4) + (s) = -2 s = +6


What is the oxidation state of S in SO42-?

SO42- (our goal is to get -2 charge) Oxygen by default has a -2 oxidation number, and we have 4 total, -2 X 4 = -8, our goal is -2, so S is +6.


What is the oxidation state of S in SO32?

The sulfate ion is SO42 -. The oxidation state of the sulfur is +6 (work it out!); therefore, the ion is more properly named the sulfate(VI) ion. The sulfite ion is SO32-. The oxidation state of the sulfur is +4.


What is the oxidation state of S in SO3 2-?

The sulfate ion is SO42 -. The oxidation state of the sulfur is +6 (work it out!); therefore, the ion is more properly named the sulfate(VI) ion. The sulfite ion is SO32-. The oxidation state of the sulfur is +4.
