In which of the following compound central atom has +4 oxidation state?
- \(SO_3\)
- \(H_2SO_3\)
- \(H_2S_2O_7\)
- \(BaSO_4\)
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
To determine which compound has the central atom with a +4 oxidation state, we need to calculate the oxidation state of sulfur in each compound:
-
\(SO_3\):
- Oxygen has a common oxidation state of -2.
- Let's assume the oxidation state of sulfur (S) is \(x\).
- The equation based on the oxidation state is: \(x + 3(-2) = 0\).
- Solving, \(x - 6 = 0 \rightarrow x = +6\).
- Hence, in \(SO_3\), sulfur has an oxidation state of +6.
-
\(H_2SO_3\):
- Hydrogen has an oxidation state of +1.
- Let's assume the oxidation state of sulfur (S) is \(x\).
- The equation is \(2(+1) + x + 3(-2) = 0\).
- Solving, \(2 + x - 6 = 0 \rightarrow x = +4\).
- Hence, in \(H_2SO_3\), sulfur has an oxidation state of +4.
-
\(H_2S_2O_7\):
- Oxygen: -2, Hydrogen: +1.
- Assuming oxidation state of sulfur is \(x\).
- The equation is \(2(+1) + 2x + 7(-2) = 0\).
- Solving, \(2 + 2x - 14 = 0 \rightarrow 2x = +12 \rightarrow x = +6\).
- Thus, in \(H_2S_2O_7\), sulfur has an oxidation state of +6.
-
\(BaSO_4\):
- Barium (Ba) has a +2 oxidation state.
- Assuming sulfur has an oxidation state of \(x\).
- The equation is: \(+2 + x + 4(-2) = 0\).
- Solving, \(2 + x - 8 = 0 \rightarrow x = +6\).
- Thus, in \(BaSO_4\), sulfur has an oxidation state of +6.
After evaluating oxidation states, we conclude that the compound where the sulfur has an oxidation state of +4 is \(H_2SO_3\). This makes option \(H_2SO_3\) the correct answer.
