Yes, the reaction S8 (s) + 4Pb (s) -> 4PbS2 (s) is a redox reaction.
In this reaction, the sulfur (S8) is being reduced, and the lead (Pb) is being oxidized. Therefore, sulfur is the oxidizing agent and lead is the reducing agent.
Is S8 (s) + 4Pb (s) —> 4PbS2 (s) a redox reaction? If so, what is the reducing agent and what is the oxidizing agent?
