What is the oxidation number of S in h2s2o8?

It would have been plus seven if possible, however the maximum is the number of valence electron of sulfur to be donated, so that is clearly +6 (six!).In H2S2O7 the oxidation number is +6


The chemical formula for oleum is?

Formula: H2S2O7


What is the acid an-hydride of sulfuric acid?

Sulphuric anhydride is H2S2O7,... H2SO4 + H2SO4-----> H2S2O7 + H2O


What is the density of H2S2O7?

The density of H2S2O7, also known as disulfuric acid, is approximately 1.90 g/cm^3 at room temperature.


Does a metal or nonmetal have both positive and negative oxidation numbers?

A metal typically has only positive oxidation numbers, while a nonmetal can have both positive and negative oxidation numbers. Metals tend to lose electrons (positive oxidation numbers) to form cations, while nonmetals can gain or lose electrons to form a variety of oxidation states.


What is THE common oxidation number for tantalum?

It shows some oxidation numbers. Generally it shows +4 oxidation numbers.


Do metals have both positive and negative oxidation numbers?

No, the can only have positive oxidation numbers


What is the sum of the oxidation numbers for P2O5?

The sum of the oxidation numbers for P2O5 is zero. In P2O5, the oxidation number for phosphorus is +5, and each oxygen atom has an oxidation number of -2. Since there are five oxygen atoms, the total sum of the oxidation numbers is 2(+5) + 5(-2) = 0.


What is the oxidation numbers in PO34?

The oxidation numbers in PO43- , phosphorus oxidation number=+5; oxygen = -2


What is the oxidation number for SO3?

When calculating oxidation numbers, use '-2' (oxygen) as the 'yardstick'(standard). Since SO3 has three oxygens, then the oxygen moiety is 3 x -2 = -6 Since SO3 is a neutrally charged molecule, overall oxidation is '0'. Hence S + -6 = 0 Hence S = 6 is the oxudation number for sulphur. NB Sulphur exhibits different oxidation states in different molecules. S = 0 SO2 = 4 SO3 = 6 ( as above) H2SO4) = 6 H2S2O7 (Oleum) = 6


Does oxidation numbers take into account stoicheometery?

The simple answer is not always. The stoicheometry deals with oxidation numbers only in redox reactions. The ratio of the change in oxidation numbers is straightly its stoicheometry.


What is the sum of the oxidation numbers in a neutral compound equal to?

The sum of the oxidation numbers in a neutral compound is equal to zero. This is because in a neutral compound, the total positive oxidation numbers are balanced by the total negative oxidation numbers to give a net charge of zero.
