Solution

In a redox reaction, the substance that gets reduced acts as the oxidizing agent, and the substance that gets oxidized acts as the reducing agent.

In the given reaction: H2S + I2 → 2HI + S

  1. Hydrogen sulphide (H2S) gets oxidized to Sulphur (S) as it loses hydrogen.
  2. Iodine (I2) gets reduced to Hydrogen iodide (HI) as it gains hydrogen.

Therefore, the reducing agent is Hydrogen sulphide (H2S) and the oxidizing agent is Iodine (I2).

So, the correct answer is "Iodine and hydrogen sulphide, respectively".
