What is the oxidation number of sulfur in \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_5\) ?
- A \(+4\)
- B \(+6\)
- C \(+8\)
- D \(+5\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(+6\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_5\) : Peroxymonosulfuric acid

It has a peroxide linkage.
\(\begin{aligned}
& (2 \times 1)+x+(3 \times-2)+(2 \times-1)=0 \\
\therefore \quad & x=+6
\end{aligned}\)
