Question

(A) + dil. H2SO4gas (B). Gas (B) turns K2Cr2O7/H+ solution green.
Aqueous solution of (A) + BaCl2whiteppt(C) Filtrate after removing (C) + Br2 water whiteppt(C). Here (A), (B) and (C) are
(A) SO23+SO24 (B) SO2 and (C) BaSO4

Solution

(A) is a mixture of sulphite SO23 and sulphate SO24
(B) is SO2 gas and (C) is BaSO4 .
(A) reacts with dilute sulphuric acid to liberate sulphur dioxide gas which turns acidified potassium dichromate solution green..
Sulphur dioxide reduces potassium dichromate to chromium sulphate (Cr2(SO4)3) which is green in colour.
Barium chloride reacts with sulphate ions to form white precipitate of barium sulphate (C).
After removing (C), the filtrate contains sulphite ions.
SO23 oxidized to SO24 (with oxygen generated by the reaction of bromine with water) and gives white precipitate of BaSO4.
Br2+H2O2HBr+O
SO23+OSO24
