$X+Y \rightarrow$ oleum The sum of oxidation states of central atom in $\mathrm{X}$ and $Y$ is

$X+Y \rightarrow$ oleum The sum of oxidation states of central atom in $\mathrm{X}$ and $Y$ is
  1. 12
  2. 10
  3. 06
  4. 08

Solution

$\mathrm{H}_2 \stackrel{+6}{\mathrm{~S}} \mathrm{O}_4+\stackrel{+6}{\mathrm{~S}} \mathrm{O}_3 \rightarrow \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{~S}_2 \mathrm{O}_7$ (oleum) $\Rightarrow$ Sum of oxidation states $=6+6=12$
