<u>Answer:</u> S is getting oxidized, N is getting reduced and O and H undergo no oxidation or reduction

<u>Explanation:</u>

The oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a chemical species loses electrons in a chemical reaction. It occurs when oxidation number of a species increases.

A reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a chemical species gains electrons in a chemical reaction. It occurs when oxidation number of a species decreases.

For the given chemical reaction:

HNO_3+S\rightarrow H_2SO_4+NO

<u>On the reactant side:</u>

Oxidation number of H = +1

Oxidation number of N = +5

Oxidation number of O = -2

Oxidation number of S = 0

<u>On the product side:</u>

Oxidation number of H = +1

Oxidation number of N = +2

Oxidation number of O = -2

Oxidation number of S = +6

As the oxidation number of S is increasing from 0 to +6. Thus, it is getting oxidized. Similarly, the oxidation number of N is decreasing from +5 to +2. Thus, it is getting reduced.

The oxidation numbers of O and H remain the same on both sides of the reaction. Thus, they are neither getting oxidized or reduced.

Hence, S is getting oxidized, N is getting reduced and O and H undergo no oxidation or reduction
