Oxidized species and reducing agent: chromium in the form of chromous hydroxide.
Explanation:
Hello!
In this case, for the reaction:
We can see that the oxidation states of sulfur and chromium change from +6 to +4 and +3 to +6 respectively; in such a way, since the oxidized species is the same reducing agent because it undergoes an increase in the oxidation state, we infer that chromium is it as it goes from +3 to +6.
Moreover, since the reduced species is the same oxidizing agent because it undergoes a decrease in the oxidation state, we infer that sulfur is it as it goes from +6 to +4.
Best regards!
