What is oxidation number of k k2so4?

Answer 1

the oxidation number of each K is +1. But there are two K's so 1*2 is +2. the charge on the molecule has to equal 0, so the oxidation number of the S must be -2.

Answer 2

For a monatomic ion, the oxidation number is the same as the ion charge. So for K2SO4(which consists of 2 K+ ions and 1 SO42- ions) , the oxidation number of K is +1

Answer 3

+4

Oxygen= (-2)3=-6

Potassium= (+1)2=+2

Sulfur=?

(-6)+(+2)=+4

Answer 4

H = +1

O = -2

So...

2*1 + 4*-2 = -6

So to get an overall oxidation number of 0 therefore S has to be +6

Answer 5

Sulphur's oxidation number is +6. Its maximum oxidation number.

Answer 6

+1 for each K and -2 for S

Answer 7

+6

Answer 8

+6

Answer 9

7/2
