Question in image, thanks a lot, have a really good day !!

1. Hydrogen sulfide is an unpleasant constituent of "sour" natural gas. When this gas is burned in the
presence of oxygen, hydrogen sulfide is converted to sulfur dioxide as follows:
H2S (g) + O2 (g) → so2 (g) + H20 (g)
Balance this equation using oxidation numbers.
