Question

In the reaction 2H2S +SO2 -----> 3S +H2O. a) H2S is getting oxidised. b)SO2 is getting reduced. c)H2S is getting reduced. d)Both A and B are correct. Plz Answer fast and explain if its possible....

Answer 1

In the reaction SO2 is reduced to S as oxygen is removed. 2H2S is oxidised to S as hydrogen is removed. The species getting oxidised facilitates the reduction process and is the reducing agent. Hence, 2H2S is the reducing agent and Oxidising agent is SO2
