The most reducing compound is H2S, thus option A is correct.
Why H2S is a good reducing compound?
- Hydrogen sulfide is a good reducing compound both in the aqueous as well as the pure state.
- When an excess amount of oxygen is provided, sulfur in the Hydrogen Sulfide burns
- In H2S, sulfur has a 2- state, which means H2S has more electrons to supply.
