1 + x + 2 (- 1) + 2 (- 2) + (- 2) + 1 = 0 or x = +6 1 + (- 2) + x + 2 (- 2) + 2 (- 1) + x + 2 (- 2) + (- 2) + 1 = 0 or x + 6

Q. The oxidation numbers of the sulphur atoms in peroxomonosulphuric acid $(H_{2} S O_{5})$ and pero- xodisulphuric acid $(H_{2} S_{2} O_{8})$ are respectively

+ 8 and + 7

+ 3 and + 3

+ 6 and + 6

+ 4 and + 6

$1 + x + 2 (- 1) + 2 (- 2) + (- 2) + 1 = 0$ or $x = + 6$
$1 + (- 2) + x + 2 (- 2) + 2 (- 1) + x + 2 (- 2) + (- 2) + 1 = 0$ or $x + 6$
