3 SO2 (aq) + 2 Al(OH)3 (s) → 3 H2 (g) + Al2(SO4)3 (aq)
This is an acid-base reaction (neutralization): SO2 is an acid, Al(OH)3 is a base.
This is an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction:
3 SIV - 6 e- → 3 SVI (oxidation)
6 HI + 6 e- → 6 H0 (reduction)
SO2 is a reducing agent, Al(OH)3 is an oxidizing agent.
