+8.
H2 has an oxidation of +1 (A total of +2)
O5 has an oxidation of -2 (A total of -10).
We do not know anything about the oxidation of S, so since we know H2SO5 isn't a complex ion, we can assume the overall oxidation number is 0.
Therefore, the oxidation number of S = Oxidation of O5 - Oxidation number of H2.
Since 10 - 2 = 8, Oxidation number of S is 8.
(no, it did not)
Sorry,
Sulphur cannot have more than +6 oxidation number as it belongs to VI(A) group.
In H2SO5, one peroxide bond is present. i.e., the oxidation number of 2 oxygen atoms is -2. (Compare hydrogen peroxide, H2O2)
2 atoms of oxygen will get -1 oxidation number each. The remaining 3 atoms will have +2 oxidation number each. This is a special case. Oxidation number of each hydrogen atom is +1 only.
So, finally the oxidation number of Sulphur is +6. [(+2)+(+6)+(-8) = 0]
Hope you got it. (yes, it did so)
In the compound H2S, hydrogen has an oxidation number of +1, and sulfur has an oxidation number of -2.
Zero The oxidation number of an element in any of its elemental forms (allotropes) is always zero
The oxidation number of sulfur in H2SO4 is +6. This is because hydrogen has an oxidation number of +1 and oxygen has an oxidation number of -2, so by the rules of oxidation numbers, sulfur must have an oxidation number of +6 to balance the equation.
consider two moles of HCHO as 2HCHO = 2CO & H2 here O has oxidation no = -2 & so C shall have oxidation no = +2
The oxidation number of hydrogen is +1, the oxidation number of sulfur is +6, and the oxidation number of oxygen is -2. In H2SO4, there are 2 hydrogen atoms (totaling +2), 1 sulfur atom (+6), and 4 oxygen atoms (totaling -8). The sum of the oxidation numbers should equal the charge of the compound, which is 0, so the oxidation number of sulfur in H2SO4 is +6.
In the compound H2S, hydrogen has an oxidation number of +1, and sulfur has an oxidation number of -2.
Each of the hydrogen atoms in H2 has an oxidation number of 0.
Zero The oxidation number of an element in any of its elemental forms (allotropes) is always zero
H2 has the oxidation number 'zero'
Hydrogen gas (H2) Oxidation number is 0. Hydrogen (H+) is +1.
The oxidation number of sulfur in H2SO4 is +6. This is because hydrogen has an oxidation number of +1 and oxygen has an oxidation number of -2, so by the rules of oxidation numbers, sulfur must have an oxidation number of +6 to balance the equation.
consider two moles of HCHO as 2HCHO = 2CO & H2 here O has oxidation no = -2 & so C shall have oxidation no = +2
The answer is 0
The oxidation number of hydrogen is +1, the oxidation number of sulfur is +6, and the oxidation number of oxygen is -2. In H2SO4, there are 2 hydrogen atoms (totaling +2), 1 sulfur atom (+6), and 4 oxygen atoms (totaling -8). The sum of the oxidation numbers should equal the charge of the compound, which is 0, so the oxidation number of sulfur in H2SO4 is +6.
The oxidation number of sulfur (S) in Li2SO4 is +6. This is because lithium (Li) has an oxidation number of +1 and oxygen (O) has an oxidation number of -2, which allows us to calculate the oxidation number of sulfur.
