Sulfur dioxide is the gas that turns K2Cr2O7 paper acidified with dilute H2SO4 to a green compound.

It is formed when sulfur is reacted with sulfuric acid.

S(s)+2H2SO4(l)3SO2(g)+2H2O(l)

Due to the production of chromium (III)sulfate, Cr2(SO4)3 the orange-colored dichromate solution will turn green.

K2Cr2O7+H2SO4(l)+3SO2(g)K2SO4(s)+Cr2(SO4)3(s)+H2O(l)

A redox reaction has occurred, Sulfur dioxide serves as the reducing agent and potassium dichromate as the oxidizing agent.
