Question

Write a balanced half-reaction for the reduction of SO₄^2- to SO₂ in an acidic media.

	a.	SO₄^2-(aq) + 4 H⁺(aq) → SO₂(g) + 2 H₂O(l)
	b.	SO₄^2-(aq) → SO₂(g) + O₂(g)
	c.	SO₄^2-(aq) + 4 H⁺(aq) + 2 e^- → SO₂(g) + 2 H₂O(l)
	d.	SO₄^2-(aq) + 4 H⁺(aq) → SO₂(g) + 2 H₂O(l) + 2 e^-
	e.	SO₄^2-(aq) + 2 e^- → SO₂(g) + O₂(g)
