Determine the change in the oxidation number of S in H_(2)S and SO_(2) in the following industrial reaction : 2H_(2)S(g)+SO_(2)(g) to 3S(s)+2H_(2)O(g)

Determine the change in the oxidation number of S in H_(2)S and SO_(2)

1.	Determine the change in the oxidation number of S in H_(2)S and SO_(2) in the following industrial reaction : 2H_(2)S(g)+SO_(2)(g) to 3S(s)+2H_(2)O(g)
Answer» Solution :The O.N of S in `S_(2)CI_(2)` is +1 as shown : `overset(-1)CI-overset(+1)S-overset(+1)S-overset(-1)CI`
