The sulfate ion is SO42 -. The oxidation state of the sulfur is +6 (work it out!); therefore, the ion is more properly named the sulfate(VI) ion. The sulfite ion is SO32-. The oxidation state of the sulfur is +4.
+4 (^_-)
In HSO4- sulfur's oxidation state is +5.
S has an oxidation state of +4 in a sulfite anion as stated. In oxyanions, oxygen always has an oxidation state of -2. Therefore, three oxygen atoms will have total oxidation number of -6, requiring an oxidation number of +4 for sulfur to sum to the charge of -2 on the anion as a whole.
SO32- is Sulfite.
-2 oxidation state
Mg = +2 oxidation state P = +5 oxidation state O = -2 oxidation state
+4
The oxidation state of an individual sulfur atom in (SO3)2- is 4.
The sulfate ion is SO42 -. The oxidation state of the sulfur is +6 (work it out!); therefore, the ion is more properly named the sulfate(VI) ion. The sulfite ion is SO32-. The oxidation state of the sulfur is +4.
+4
Oxidation state of O is -2.Oxidation state of S is +4.
S = +4 oxidation state O = -2 oxidation state
The oxidation state of sulfur in a thiosulfate ion is + 2.
+6 oxidation state
The oxidation state of sulfur in a thiosulfate ion is + 2.
Sulphar has +4 oxidation state.Oxygen has -2 oxidation state.
In HSO4- sulfur's oxidation state is +5.
+6 oxidation state
