Sum of π -bonds present in peroxodisulphuric acid and pyrosulphuric acid is

Sum of π-bonds present in peroxodisulphuric acid and pyrosulphuric acid is

Solution

The structure of peroxodisulphuric acid (H2S2O8) is

Each sulphur is having 2π bonds. Hence, total number of π-bonds in peroxydisulphuric acid is four.

The structure of pyrosulphuric acid (H2S2O7) is

Each sulphur is having 2π bonds. Hence, total number of π-bonds in pyrosulphuric acid is four.

So, sum of π bonds present = 4 + 4 = 8
