AI Generated Solution

To demonstrate that sulfur dioxide (SO₂) acts as a reducing agent, we can write a chemical equation where SO₂ reduces another species while being oxidized itself. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Identify the Reaction We need to find a suitable reaction where SO₂ can act as a reducing agent. A common reaction is the reduction of iron(III) ions (Fe³⁺) to iron(II) ions (Fe²⁺) in an acidic medium. ### Step 2: Write the Half-Reactions 1. **Oxidation half-reaction (for SO₂):** \[ ...
