QUESTION:
Disulfur decafluoride is intermediate in reactivity between \(SF_4\) and \(SF_6\). It disproportionates at \(150^{\circ}C\) to these monosulfur fluorides. Write a balanced equation for this reaction, and give the oxidation state of \(S\) in each compound.
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 2
Here we have to write a balanced equation for the disproportionates at 150°C to the monosulfur fluorides i.e \(SF_4\) and \(SF_6\) and have to find out the oxidation number (O.N) of S in each compound.
