Which of the following oxoacid of sulphur has $- O - O -$ linkage?

A
$H_{2} {SO}_{4}$ , sulphuric acid
Correct answer
B
$H_{2} S_{2} O_{8}$ , peroxydisulphuric acid
C
$H_{2} S_{2} O_{7}$ , pyrosulphuric acid
D
$H_{2} {SO}_{3}$ , sulphurous acid

Solution

Peroxydisulphuric acid is an inorganic compound with a chemical formula $H_{2} S_{2} O_{8}$ . Also called Marshall's acid after its inventor, Professor Hugh Marshall, it is a peroxydisulphuric acid. In structural terms, it can be written ${HO}_{3} {SOOSO}_{3} H .$ It contains sulfur in its $+ 6$ oxidation state and a peroxide group.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
