so2+c = s+co2 here Sulphur dioxide is a oxidizing agent
so2+co2=so4+c here Sulphur dioxide is reducing agent.
while,
Te o 2 can only perform Oxidation reaction as
teo2+c = te+co2
but cannot perform reduction reaction as
teo2+co2 cannot result as teo4 +c.
so2+co2=so4+c here Sulphur dioxide is reducing agent.
