I need to identify the species which is the oxidizing agent and reducing agent in the reaction below
PbO₂ + SO₂  PbSO₄

I've worked out that Pb in PbO₂ is the oxidizing agent and S in SO₂ is the reducing agent. The answer scheme indicate PbO₂ as the oxidizing agent and SO₂ as the reducing agent. Am I wrong or am I being more specific? Thanks

It is correct. You are more specific.

Check which substance is oxidized ...check oxidation number on Pb and S on both sides

Got it, thanks for the reply.
