In the reaction between moist SO2 and acidified permanganate solution :
1
SO2 is oxidised to \(\mathrm{SO}_4^{2-}\)
\(\mathrm{MnO}_4^{-}\) is reduced to Mn2+
2
SO2 is reduced to S
\(\mathrm{MnO}_4^{-}\) is oxidised to MnO4
3
SO2 is oxidised to \(\mathrm{SO}_3^{2-}\)
\(\mathrm{MnO}_4^{-}\) is reduced to MnO2
4
SO2 is reduced to H2S
\(\mathrm{MnO}_4^{-}\) is oxidised to MnO4
