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
In S2O82-, each S atom has an oxidation number of +5. In SO42-, the oxidation number of S is also +5. There is no change in oxidation number for sulfur when transitioning from S2O82- to SO42-.
In an iodometric titration experiment, the oxidation number of sulfur changes from -2 in the thiosulfate ion (S2O32-) to +4 in the sulfate ion (SO42-) as sulfur gains oxygen atoms. This change indicates the transfer of electrons and oxidation of sulfur during the reaction.
To determine the oxidation number of sulfur (S) in the polyatomic ion S4O6^2-, we can set up an equation where the sum of the oxidation numbers equals the charge of the ion. In this case, the total charge is -2. Each oxygen atom has an oxidation number of -2, so the total oxidation number contributed by oxygen is -12. To solve for sulfur, we set up the equation: 4x + 6(-2) = -2, where x is the oxidation number of sulfur. By solving this equation, we find that the oxidation number of sulfur in S4O6^2- is +5.
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.
None do. Let's look at each compound: BiCl2... this is Bi2+ and Cl- Na2SO4... this is Na+ and SO42- NaCl... this is Na+ and Cl- BiSO4... this is Bi2+ and SO42- So as you can see, nobody is changing its charge, so everyone's oxidation number stayed constant. Of course I am a bit confused by the fact that Bismuth does not ever form a +2 ion (only +3 and +5), so I would have to assume you meant Ba2+. But it would not change what I wrote up there. It would simply be a precipition reaction, not an oxidation-reduction reaction.

The oxidation state of S in SO42- is +6. Each oxygen atom has an oxidation state of -2, so the total charge of -2 for sulfate ion requires sulfur to have an oxidation state of +6 to balance the charge.
In an iodometric titration experiment, the oxidation number of sulfur changes from -2 in the thiosulfate ion (S2O32-) to +4 in the sulfate ion (SO42-) as sulfur gains oxygen atoms. This change indicates the transfer of electrons and oxidation of sulfur during the reaction.
In this ion the oxidation state of sulfur is 6+ and the oxidation state of each oxygen is 2-

Hydrogen's oxidation number is +1.Chlorin's oxidation number is +1.Oxygen's oxidation number is -2.
The oxidation state of sulfur in SO4^2- is +6. This is because oxygen typically has an oxidation state of -2, and there are 4 oxygen atoms in SO4^2-. Since the overall charge of the ion is -2, the oxidation state of sulfur must be +6 to balance the charges.
The oxidation number of acetate (CH3COO-) is -1. The carbon atom has an oxidation number of +3, each hydrogen atom has an oxidation number of +1, and the oxygen atoms have an oxidation number of -2.
The oxidation number of each hydrogen in H2CO2 is +1, while the oxidation number of each carbon in CO2 is +4. This is because hydrogen usually has an oxidation number of +1, and oxygen usually has an oxidation number of -2.
Silicon's oxidation number is +4.Oxygen's oxidation number is -2
