When SO2 gas is passed through saturated solution of H2S, the following reaction occurs:
SO2 + 2H2S → 2H2O + 3S
In this reaction, which substance is oxidised and which one is reduced?

उत्तर
In the above reaction, SO2 is reduced to S as it loses oxygen. On the other hand, H2S, which gains oxygen, gets oxidised to H2O.
