  3. C \(Pb(CH_3COO)_2\)
  4. D \(K_2Cr_2O_7\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(K_2Cr_2O_7\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(SO_2\) gas acts as a reducing agent. When a paper dipped in an acidified solution of potassium dichromate (\(K_2Cr_2O_7\)) is exposed to \(SO_2\) gas, the orange-colored dichromate ion (\(Cr_2O_7^{2-}\)) is reduced to the green-colored chromium(III) ion (\(Cr^{3+}\)). The…
