Reaction between hydrogen sulphide and s...

Reaction between hydrogen sulphide and sulphurdioxide gives sulphur. Which type of redox reaction is this? 

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The reaction between hydrogen sulphide and sulphur dioxide is given as,
`2H_(2)S+SO_(2)rarr 3S+H_(2)O`
 Oxidation state of S in `H_(2)S` is `-2` and is oxidised to .O.. Oxidation state of S in `SO_(2)` is `+4` and is reduced to .O.. Therefore this reaction is an example of comproportionation.
