    Which of the following sulphur containing species can not act as oxidising agent?

    A)  \[{{H}_{2}}S\]                  

    B)  \[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\]

    C)  \[S{{O}_{2}}\]                                  

    D)  \[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    Oxidation number of sulphur in \[{{H}_{2}}S\],\[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\] \[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{3}}\] and \[S{{O}_{2}}\] are \[-2,\] \[+6\], \[+4\] and \[+4\]. Thus, \[{{H}_{2}}S\] can act only as reducing agent.
