K 2 Cr 2 O 7 paper acidified with dilute H 2 SO 4 turns green when exposed to
Options
- ACarbon dioxide
- BSulphur trioxide
- CHydrogen sulphide
- DSulphur dioxide
Correct answer
D. Sulphur dioxide
Step-by-step solution
Carbon dioxide and sulphur trioxide cannot undergo oxidation. Potassium dichromate is reduced to chromic sulphate in the presence of sulphur dioxide. The orange solution of potassium dichromate becomes green colour chromic sulphate. K 2 Cr 2 O 7   +   3 SO 2   +   H 2 SO 4   →   K 2 SO 4   +   Cr 2 ( SO 4 ) 3   +   H 2 O Hence, the gas is sulphur dioxide.
