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?


$SO_{2} \ +\ 2H_{2} S\rightarrow \ 2H_{2} O\ +\ 3S\ $

In the above reaction, SO2 is reduced to S, as it loses oxygen.

H2S is oxidised to H2O, as it gains oxygen.
