\n\n\n\nExplanation (300 words):<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
\n
The sulfate ion has a charge of -2<\/strong>. For the entire compound to be electrically neutral, the combined charge of the two mercury atoms must be +2<\/strong>.
Therefore, each mercury atom must have a +1 oxidation state<\/strong>: $$
2 \\times (+1) + (-2) = 0
