Question

In the chemical reaction Cl2 + H2S → 2HCl + S, the oxidation number of sulphur changes from (A) 0 to 2 (B) - 2 to 0 (C) 2 to 0 (D) - 2 to - 1

Oxidation state of sulphur in H2S is -2, while it is zero in ‘S’, i.e., in this reaction oxidation of sulphur and reduction of chlorine is takes place.

Q. In the chemical reaction $C l_{2} + H_{2} S \to 2 H Cl + S,$ the oxidation number of sulphur changes from

$0 t o 2$

$- 2 t o 0$

$2 t o 0$

$- 2 t o - 1$

Oxidation state of sulphur in $H_{2} S$ is $- 2$ , while it is zero in ‘S’, i.e., in this reaction oxidation of sulphur and reduction of chlorine is takes place.
