i suppose it produces SO2 and Na2S

so thats my guess...

That could be correct, or maybe not.  Can you write a balanced chemical reaction?  If it's impossible, that may be a hint that the reaction is wrong.  Warning, if it is possible to balance, it may still be wrong.  But at least, you'll have some practice.
Hey, I'm not judging.  I just like to shoot straight.  I'm a man of science.

umm..i appreciate your help. but i really need a accurate answer..even if i can balance it,it doesnt mean that its the correct reaction ..i can write 1000s of balanced equations which are not stable under the lab conditions..:D

can anyone give me a accurate answer?

thanxx

Thiosulfate is obtaining through warming sulfur and sulfite together. Hence decomposition reaction to the starting reagents may be expected.
