Na2CO3  + SO2 would give NaHSO3 with release of CO2 gas.
And further again on reacting with Na2CO3 tye product formed would be => Na2SO3 + HCO3.
And on reacting with I2 with NaSO3 we get Na2S2O6 + NaI.
ANd based on each reaction the S characterizes itself somewhat for reducing as well as oxidizing.
