Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

In sulphurous acid (H2SO3), the O.N. of S is 2 × (+ 1) + x + 3 × (∼ 2) = 0 or x = + 6-2 = + 4 .In other adds, the O.N. of S is + 6.

Q. In which of the following acids oxidation state of sulphur is different from that of the others ?

Caro’s acid

Marshall’s acid

Sulphuric acid

Sulphurous acid

In sulphurous acid $(H_{2} S O_{3})$ , the O.N. of S is $2 \times (+ 1) + x + 3 \times (\sim 2) = 0$ or $x = + 6 - 2 = + 4$ .In other adds, the O.N. of $S$ is $+ 6$ .

Sulphurous acid

In sulphurous acid (H2​SO3​), the O.N. of S is 2×(+1)+x+3×(∼2)=0 or x=+6−2=+4 .In other adds, the O.N. of S is +6.
