1.	Reaction between hydrogen sulphide and sulphurdioxide gives sulphur. Which type of redox reaction is this?
Answer» SOLUTION :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.
