Nitrogen and sulfur — practice question

In which reaction is the change in sulfur's oxidation number the greatest?

  • A$\text{S}(\text{s}) + \text{O}_2(\text{g}) \rightarrow \text{SO}_2(\text{g})$
  • B$\text{SO}_2(\text{g}) + \tfrac{1}{2}\text{O}_2(\text{g}) \rightleftharpoons \text{SO}_3(\text{g})$
  • C$\text{SO}_3(\text{g}) + \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4(\text{l}) \rightarrow \text{H}_2\text{S}_2\text{O}_7(\text{l})$
  • D$\text{H}_2\text{S}_2\text{O}_7(\text{l}) + \text{H}_2\text{O}(\text{l}) \rightarrow 2\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4(\text{l})$
