Question

We know that SO2 is oxidising agent .
Write some reaction of oxidising agent nature of sulphur dioxide ? ​

Answer 1

$\large\underline{Oxidising\:Nature\:Of\:SO_{2}}$

Sulphur dioxide act as oxidising agent with strong reducing agent

Some Example of reactions are :-

✨

$\large{2H_{2}S+SO_{2}->2H_{2}O+3S}$

✨

$\large{2SnCl_{2}+SO_{2}+4HCl->2SnCl_{4}+2H_{2}O+S}$

✨

$\large{2Hg_{2}Cl_{2}+SO_{2}+4HCl->2HgCl_{2}+2H_{2}O+S}$

✨

$\large{CO_{2}+SO_{2}->2CO_{2}+S}$

✨

$\large{2Fe+SO_{2}->2FeO+FeS}$

✨

$\large{2CO+SO_{2}->2CO_{2}+S}$

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Featuring sulfur in the +4 oxidation state, sulfur dioxide is a reducing agent. It is oxidized by halogens to give the sulfuryl halides, such as sulfuryl chloride: SO2 + Cl2 → SO2Cl. Sulfur dioxide is the oxidising agent in the Claus process, which is conducted on a large scale in oil refineries.
