Solution

Sulphur is precipitated .
$2 H_{2} S + S O_{2} + \to 3 S + 2 H_{2} O$
hydrogen sulfide reacts with the solute $H_{2} S O_{4}$ in sulfuric acid. Both sulfur and sulfur dioxide are produced when the molar ratio of $H_{2} S O_{4} / H_{2} S$ is between $1.00$ and $2.98$ , while all sulfur oxidizes to sulfur dioxide if $H_{2} S O_{4} / H_{2} S$ exceed $2.98$ .
