Problem 48E
Oxidation-Reduction Reactions (Section)
Determine the oxidation number of sulfur in each of the following substances: (a) barium sulfate, BaSO4, (b) sulfurous acid, H2SO3, (c) strontium sulfide, SrS, (d) hydrogen sulfide, H2S. (e) Locate sulfur in the periodic table in Exercise 4.47; what region is it in? (f) Which region(s) of the period table contains elements that can adopt both positive and negative oxidation numbers?
Solution
The first step in solving 4 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Problem 48EOxidation-Reduction Reactions (Section)Determine the oxidation number of sulfur in each of the following substances: (a) barium sulfate, BaSO4, (b) sulfurous acid, H2SO3, (c) strontium sulfide, SrS, (d) hydrogen sulfide, H2S. (e) Locate sulfur in the periodic table in Exercise 4.47; what region is it in? (f) Which region(s) of the period table contains elements that can adopt both positive and negative oxidation numbers?
From the textbook chapter Reactions in Aqueous Solution you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
