The element H and O combine separately with the third element S to form H2S and SO2 respectively, then show that they combine directly with each other to form H2O.


SO2 + 2H2S → 3S + 2H2O

Sulfur dioxide (SO)2reacts with hydrogen sulfide(H2S) to produce sulfur(S) and water(H2O).

The reaction proceeds at room temperature(temperature near 300°).

In this reaction, the catalyst is can be iron(III) oxide, aluminium oxide.
