A on reaction...

Question

A on reaction with dil. $H_{2} {S O}_{4}$ gives a colourless pungent gas that can turn ${C r}_{2} O_{7}^{2 -} / H^{+}$ green. Green colour is due to formation of :

Solution

The correct option is B ${C r}^{3 +}$
Pungent gas is ${S O}_{2}$ .
It reduces potassium dichromate to green coloured chromium sulphate $(C r_{2} (S O_{4})_{3})$
$K_{2} {C r}_{2} O_{7} + 2 H^{+} + 3 S O_{2} \to (C r_{2} (S O_{4})_{3}) (g r e e n) + 5 H_{2} O + 2 K^{+}$ . Thus, the green colour is due to formation of Cr(III) ion.
