Is there a way to calculate what the products will be for SO2+Br+H2O?
In a textbook problem, my task was to write down the products and calculate the coefficients for
#SO_2+Br+H_2O#
I had only practiced reactions with two participants before that moment. I failed to guess what the products would be, and went googling. The reaction is as follows:
#SO_2+Br+2H_2O->2HBr+H_2SO_4#
Was there any way to calculate the products in advance?

There is something I would call a chemical intuition.
Explanation:
There are many reactions you can see for the first time in spite of going through many during your studies. But sometimes you can have a feeling of what's going to happen in a reaction.
Here we now that
