Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Green \(Cr_2(SO_4)_3\) is formed.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{K}_{2} \mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{7}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}+3 \mathrm{SO}_{2} \longrightarrow \mathrm{K}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}+\mathrm{Cr}_{2}\left(\mathrm{SO}_{4}\right)_{3}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\) The appearance of green colour is due to the reduction of chromium metal.
