  2. B the solution is decolourised
  3. C \(\mathrm{SO}_{2}\) is reduced
  4. D green \(\mathrm{Cr}_{2}\left(\mathrm{SO}_{4}\right)_{3}\) is formed
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) green \(\mathrm{Cr}_{2}\left(\mathrm{SO}_{4}\right)_{3}\) is formed

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

When \(\mathrm{SO}_{2}\) is passed through acidified \(\mathrm{K}_{2} \mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{7}\) solution. \(\mathrm{SO}_{2}\) gas turns acidified potassium dichromate solution from orange to green reduced chromium \(+4\) to \(+3\).
\(\mathrm{K}_{2} \mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{7}+2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}+3 \mathrm{SO}_{2} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{Cr}_{2}\left(\mathrm{SO}_{4}\right)_{3}\) \(+~\mathrm{K}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\)
