Hydrogen Sulfide Sulfur Dioxide Balanced Equation

A brief account of the chemical equation of the reaction between hydrogen sulfide and sulfur dioxide
A chemist who has heard of ancient times is very concerned about the reaction between hydrogen sulfide ($H_2S $) and sulfur dioxide ($SO_2 $). When the two meet, a chemical change occurs. This change is also related to the valence transition of sulfur elements and the new formation of substances. Therefore, it is an important task for chemical research to find the chemical equation of its balance.

Guanfu hydrogen sulfide, sulfur is -2-valent and has reductive properties; sulfur in sulfur dioxide is + 4-valent and oxidizing. When the two meet, the valence state of sulfur is centered. As a result, the elemental sulfur ($S $) and water ($H_2O $) are obtained.

Initial equation: $H_2S + SO_2\ longrightarrow S + H_2O $. At this time, the number of sulfur atoms, hydrogen atoms, and oxygen atoms on the left and right sides is not harmonized. In order to make it flat, it is determined by the law of conservation of electron gains and losses. Sulfur in hydrogen sulfide rises by 2 valence, and sulfur in sulfur dioxide decreases by 4 valence. In order to make the number of electrons gained and lost, the coefficient of hydrogen sulfide is set to 2, and the coefficient of sulfur dioxide is set to 1. In this way, there is $2H_2S + SO_2\ longrightarrow S + H_2O $.

The number of hydrogen and oxygen atoms in the renucleation, the left side of the hydrogen atom is 4, and the coefficient of water on the right side should be 2; at this time, there are 2 oxygen atoms on the left side, 2 on the right side, and 3 on the left side of the sulfur atom. The coefficient of sulfur elemental matter on the right side should be 3. Then the equation of balancing is obtained: $2H_2S + SO_2 = 3S? + 2H_2O $.

This equation also shows that the quantitative relationship between hydrogen sulfide and sulfur dioxide shows the organization of chemical changes, which is the basis for scholars to study this reaction and the subtlety of chemistry.
