Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 12

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{H}_2 \stackrel{+6}{\mathrm{~S}} \mathrm{O}_4+\stackrel{+6}{\mathrm{~S}} \mathrm{O}_3 \rightarrow \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{~S}_2 \mathrm{O}_7\) (oleum) \(\Rightarrow\) Sum of oxidation states \(=6+6=12\)
