The acid in which O-O bonding present is |
$H_2S_2O_3$ $H_2S_2O_6$ $H_2S_2O_8$ $H_2S_4O_6$ |
$H_2S_2O_8$ |
The correct answer is Option (3) → $H_2S_2O_8$. The presence of an O-O bond indicates a peroxide linkage. Let's examine each of the options in detail: 1. H₂S₂O₃ (Thiosulfuric acid) This acid does not contain an O-O bond. It has sulfur atoms in different oxidation states, but no peroxide linkage. 2. H₂S₂O₆ (Dithionic acid) Dithionic acid does not contain an O-O bond. It has sulfur-sulfur bonds but no peroxide linkage.
3. H₂S₂O₈ (Peroxodisulfuric acid) This acid contains an O-O bond (peroxide bond) between two oxygen atoms, which connects the two sulfur atoms. This is a key characteristic of peroxodisulfuric acid. The structure includes the S-O-O-S bond.
4. H₂S₄O₆ (Tetrathionic acid) Tetrathionic acid does not contain an O-O bond; it has S-S bonds instead. Conclusion: The acid containing an O-O bond is H₂S₂O₈ (peroxodisulfuric acid). |
