The oxidation state of an individual sulfur atom in MgSO4 is +6.
The oxidation state of an individual sulfur atom in BaSo4 is +6.
The oxidation state of an individual sulfur atom in (SO3)2- is 4.
Since the total molecule must have zero net oxidation state and there are two oxygen atoms but only one sulfur atom, the sulfur must have oxidation state +4.
The oxidation state of sulfur in a thiosulfate ion is + 2.
If you mean SO3^-2 (the sulfite anion), then S has an oxidation number of 4+, since each O atom is 2-. In sulfur trioxide, SO3, the S atom has an oxidation number of 6+.
The oxidation state of an individual sulfur atom in BaSo4 is +6.
The oxidation state of an individual sulfur atom in (SO3)2- is 4.
That depends on the compound that it is in but it is often found in the oxidation states 2-, 4+, and 6+. In its elemental for the oxidation state is 0, which is true of all elements. In sulfides, thiols, and similar compounds such as H2S, K2S, CH3SH and HSCN it s int the 2- oxidation state. In sulfur dioxide (SO2) and sulfites such as Na2SO3 and SrSO3 it is in the 4+ oxidation state. In sulfur trioxide (SO3), sulfuric acid (H2SO4), and sulfates such as MgSO4, K2SO4, and NaHSO4 it is in the 6+ oxidation state..
Since the total molecule must have zero net oxidation state and there are two oxygen atoms but only one sulfur atom, the sulfur must have oxidation state +4.
In this ion the oxidation state of sulfur is 6+ and the oxidation state of each oxygen is 2-

The oxidation state of sulfur in a thiosulfate ion is + 2.
In HSO4- sulfur's oxidation state is +5.
In HSO4- sulfur's oxidation state is +5.
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.
