Solution
The correct options are A2H2S(g)+SO2(g)→3S(s)+2H2O(g) B2Ag2+(aq)+Ag(s)→2Ag+(g) A reaction in which an element in a higher oxidation state reacts with the same element in a lower oxidation state to give the element in an intermediate oxidation state is known as comproportionation or symproportionation. In option A: 2H2−2S(g)++4SO2(g)→30S(s)+2H2O(g) Sulphur in −2 and +4 oxidation states changes to 0 oxidation state. In option B: 2Ag2+(aq)+0Ag(s)→2Ag+(g) Here silver in +2 and 0 states changes to +1 state.
