Question

Oxone is the commercial name of:
A. ${\text{KHS}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{5}}}$
B. ${\text{N}}{{\text{a}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{O}}$
C. ${{\text{K}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}$
D. ${{\text{K}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{O}}$

Answer 1

Hint: Oxone is the trade name of acid of sulphur. The acid has sulphur in its maximum oxidation number. The salt of the sulphur acid is known as Oxone.

Complete answer
${\text{KHS}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{5}}}$is known as potassium peroxymonosulfate. It is found as a white powder. ${\text{KHS}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{5}}}$is a salt of acid of sulphur that is ${\text{HS}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{5}}}$.${\text{HS}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{5}}}$is known as Caro’s acid.
The trade name of potassium peroxymonosulfate is Oxone. It is also known as Caroat, and MPS.
As the name indicates potassium peroxymonosulfate or Ozone has peroxy linkage.
The structure of potassium peroxymonosulfate is as follows:

>Oxone has sulphur atoms in $ + 6$oxidation state. So, Oxone is used as an oxidising agent. It is also very corrosive. The standard reduction potential of potassium peroxymonosulfate is $1.8$ V.
>Oxone is used for disinfecting laboratory equipment.
>${\text{N}}{{\text{a}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{O}}$is known as sodium oxide. It is used in ceramics.
>${{\text{K}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}$is known as potassium peroxide. It is a yellow amorphous solid.
<${{\text{K}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{O}}$is known as potassium oxide. It is a pale yellow solid. It is used as N-P-K fertilizer in industries. So, Oxone is the commercial name of${\text{KHS}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{5}}}$.

Therefore, option (A) ${\text{KHS}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{5}}}$is correct

Note:Ozone and ozone are different. ${\text{KHS}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{5}}}$is known as Oxone whereas ${{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}$is known as ozone. Ozone is an inorganic molecule. Potassium monosulfate is also different from potassium persulphate. The chemical formula of potassium persulphate is ${{\text{K}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{S}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{8}}}$. Potassium persulphate is also a powerful oxidizing agent. The potassium salt Oxone is itself is a part of triple salt having chemical formula ${\text{2KHS}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{5}}}{\text{.KHS}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{4}}}{\text{.}}{{\text{K}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{S}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{4}}}$.
