Answer» Correct Answer - 1 In presence of moisture `SO_(2)` acts as a good reducting agent .It reducing character is due to the evolution of nascent hydrogen: `SO_(2)+2H_(2)OrarrH_(2)SO_(4)2[H]` Sulphur dioxide truns orange coloured potassium dichromatic solution green : `{:(K_(2)Cr_(2)O_(7)+4H_(2)SO_(4) rarr H_(2)SO_(4)+Cr_(2)(SO_(4))_(3)+4H_(2)O+3[O]),(SO_(2)+H_(2)O+[O] rarr H_(2)SO_(4)"]"xx3),(bar(underset(("orange"))(K_(2)Cr_(2)O_(7))+H_(2)SO_(4)+3SO_(2) rarr K_(2)SO_(4))underset(("Green"))(+)Cr_(2)(SO_(4))_(3)+H_(2)O):}` |
