Coincidence! the oxidation number of sulfur in sufate is +6, in sulfite is +4. Sulfate is SO42-, sulfite is SO32- Personally I do not like using the word valency in this context, valency usually refers to elements- and is the number of bonds that an elemnt can form to other elemnts- it is an old term. In the context of ions charge seems to be a better word.

What is the chemical equation for potassium sulphate and potassium sulphite?
first of all its not chemical equation is chemical formula Potassium Sulphate: K2SO4 Potassium Sulphite: K2SO3
What is the valency of sulphur in sulphite radical?
The valency of sulfur in the sulfite radical is +4. This is because sulfur has a usual oxidation state of +4 in the sulfite ion, which is SO3^2-.
What is the compound name of sulphate of iron?
iron sulfate. It can be iron(II) sulfate or iron(III) sulfate.
What is the chemical formula for sulphite and sulphate?
The chemical formula for sulfite is SO3^2- while the chemical formula for sulfate is SO4^2-.
What is the valency of copper in copper sulphate?
The valency of copper in copper sulfate (CuSO4) is +2. This means that copper has a charge of +2 in this compound and it forms ionic bonds with the sulfate ion.
Why is valency of sulphite?
The sulfite ion has a valency of 2.
What is the valency of a sulphate ion?
The formula for a sulphate ion is SO42- so the valency of a sulphate ion is -2.
Is sulphate equals sulfate and sulphite equals sulfite?
my understanding is Sulphate = UK English spelling & sulfate = US English spelling chemically the same similarly Sulphite = UK English spelling & sulfite = US English spelling chemcially the same. I hope that helps
