Analytical Chemistry Question 2

Question: A substance on treatment with dil. $ H_2SO_4 $ liberates a colourless gas which produces

(I) turbidity with baryta water and (II) turns acidified dichromate solution green. The reaction indicates the presence of

Options:

A) $ CO_3^{2-} $

B) $ {s^{2-}} $

C) $ SO_3^{2-} $

D) $ NO_3^{-} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

[c] $ Na_2SO_3+2HCl( dil )\to $

$ 2NaCl+H_2O+SO_2 $

$ K_2Cr_2O_7+H_2SO_4+3SO_2\to $

$ \underset{Green}{\mathop{K_2SO_4+Cr_2{{( SO_4 )}_3}+H_2O}} $
