    \[[X]+{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\xrightarrow{{}}[Y]\] a colourless gas with irritating smell,
    \[[Y]+{{K}_{2}}C{{r}_{2}}O+{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\xrightarrow{{}}\] green solution.
    [X] and [Y] is:

    A) \[S{{O}_{3}}^{2-},S{{O}_{2}}\]        

    B) \[C{{l}^{-}},HCl\]

    C) \[{{S}^{2-}},{{H}_{2}}S\]                 

    D) \[C{{O}_{3}}^{2-},C{{O}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] \[S{{O}_{2}}\] and \[{{H}_{2}}S\] both being reducing agents, can turn acidified dichromate solution green. \[S{{O}_{2}}\] can be obtained by the action of acid upon sulphite while \[{{H}_{2}}S\] is evolved by the action of acid upon sulphide. However, \[S{{O}_{2}}\] has a burning sulphur smell which is irritating. \[{{H}_{2}}S\] has rotten egg like smell.
