A mixture of salts (Na2SO3 + K2Cr2O7) in a test tube is treated with dil. H2SO4 and resulting gas is passed through lime water. Which of the following observations is correct about this test?

Na2SO3 with dil. H2SO4 gives SO2 gas which reacts with K2Cr2O7 to give a green solution due to Cr2(SO4)3.Since whole of the gas is consumed, the lime water will remain clear. Na2SO3 + H2SO4 → Na2SO4 + SO2 + H2O K2Cr2O7 + 3SO2 + H2SO4→ K2SO4 + (green) Cr2(SO4)3 + H2O.

Detailed Solution

Na₂SO₃with dil. H₂SO₄gives SO₂ gas which reacts with K₂Cr₂O₇ to give a green solution due to Cr₂(SO₄)₃.
Since whole of the gas is consumed, the lime water will remain clear.
Na₂SO₃ + H₂SO₄ → Na₂SO₄ + SO₂ + H₂O
K₂Cr₂O₇ + 3SO₂+ H₂SO₄→ K₂SO₄ + (green) Cr₂(SO₄)₃ + H₂O.
