Solution

The correct option is C Dilute sulphuric acid
Sodium sulphite reacts with dilute sulphuric acid in the manner shown below:
$N a_{2} S O_{3} (s) + H_{2} S O_{4} (l) \to N a_{2} S O_{4} + S O_{2} (g) + H_{2} O$
So, $S O_{2}$ is liberated as a product in the above reaction.

The solution which liberates sulphur dioxide gas, from sodium sulphite :

The correct option is C Dilute sulphuric acidSodium sulphite reacts with dilute sulphuric acid in the manner shown below:Na2SO3(s)+H2SO4(l)→Na2SO4+SO2(g)+H2O So, SO2 is liberated as a product in the above reaction.

The correct option is C Dilute sulphuric acid
Sodium sulphite reacts with dilute sulphuric acid in the manner shown below:
$N a_{2} S O_{3} (s) + H_{2} S O_{4} (l) \to N a_{2} S O_{4} + S O_{2} (g) + H_{2} O$
So, $S O_{2}$ is liberated as a product in the above reaction.
