A white crystalline salt A reacts with dilute \(\mathrm{HCl}\) to liberate a suffocating gas B and also forms a yellow precipitate. The gas B turns potassium dichromate acidified with dilute \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}\) to a green coloured solution C. A, B and C are respectively

  1. A \(\mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{3}, \mathrm{SO}_{2}, \mathrm{Cr}_{2}\left(\mathrm{SO}_{4}\right)_{3}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{~S}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}, \mathrm{SO}_{2}, \mathrm{Cr}_{2}\left(\mathrm{SO}_{4}\right)_{3}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{~S}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{2}, \mathrm{Cr}_{2}\left(\mathrm{SO}_{4}\right)_{3}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}, \mathrm{SO}_{2}, \mathrm{Cr}_{2}\left(\mathrm{SO}_{4}\right)_{3}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{~S}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}, \mathrm{SO}_{2}, \mathrm{Cr}_{2}\left(\mathrm{SO}_{4}\right)_{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Gas B turns the colour of acidified \(\mathrm{K}_{2} \mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{7}\) green thus it is \(\mathrm{SO}_{2}\) and \(\mathrm{SO}_{2}\) is obtained along with yellow precipitate when thio sulphate is treated with dilute acids. Thus, \(\mathrm{A}\) is \(\mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{~S}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}\), B is \(\mathrm{SO}_{2}\) and \(\mathrm{C}\) is \(\mathrm{Cr}_{2}\left(\mathrm{SO}_{4}\right)_{3}\).
The reactions are as follows
