Detailed Solution

SO2 and CO2 both turn lime water (A) milky, SO2 also turns K2Cr2O7/H+(B) green while O2 is soluble in pyrogallol (C) turning it black. These gases are to be detected in order by using these reagents. The order is (B),(A),(C). (B) will absorb SO2 first. Thus, it will be removed from the mixture. Then (A) will absorb CO2. Thus, it will also be removed from the mixture. Now (C) will absorb oxygen.

Sequence is: SO2>                     CO2>                O2  (More acidic) ,  (Less acidic)    (Neutral)
