The correct option is A 6
The structure of H2S2O8 is given below.
H−O−O||S||O-O-O-O||S||O-O-H
In the structure of H2S2O8, two oxygen atoms are involved in peroxide linkage, hence oxidation number will be −1 (each). Remaining oxygen atoms will have −2 charge. Thus, we can calculate the oxidation state of sulphur (x) as follows:
H2S2O8=2(+1)H+2(x)S+2(−1)O−O+6(−2)O=0
x=+6.
