When SO ₂ is passed through acidified K ₂ Cr ₂ O ₇ solution
Options
- Areduction of SO ₂ takes place
- Bthe solution turns orange
- Cthe solution turns blue
- Dthe solution turns green
Correct answer
D. the solution turns green
Step-by-step solution
Action of acidified potassium dichromate on SO ₂ : Sulphur dioxide gas is oxidized to sulphuric acid when passed through acidified potassium dichromate solution. The colour of the solution changes from orange to green because potassium dichromate is reduced to chromic sulphate.
