MCQ

${H_2}S$ acts only as a reducing agent while $S{O_2}$ can act both as a reducing and oxidizing agent because

A
$S$ in ${H_2}S$ has $-2$ oxidation state
B
$S$ in $S{O_2}$ has oxidation state $+ 4$
C
Hydrogen in ${H_2}S$ more $+ve$ than oxygen
✓
Both $(a)$ and $(b)$

✓

Answer

Correct option: D.

Both $(a)$ and $(b)$

(d) In ${H_2}S$ sulphur shows $-2$ oxidation state and in $S{O_2}$ shows $+4$ oxidation state. Hence $S{O_2}$ shows both oxidising and reducing properties.
