Answer: (D) (d) Green is formed.. \textbf{Answer:} (d) Green is formed.

  1. A.(a) The solution turns blue.
  2. B.(b) The solution is decolourized.
  3. C.(c) is reduced.
  4. D.(d) Green is formed.✓

Correct Answer

(D) (d) Green is formed.

Solution & Explanation

\textbf{Answer:} (d) Green is formed. \textbf{Solution:} Acidified dichromate is a strong oxidising agent. It oxidises (S goes from +4 to +6) and is itself reduced, from +6 to +3: The product is green, so the orange solution turns green. Since is oxidised (not reduced), option (c) is wrong; the solution does not turn blue or decolourise, ruling out (a) and (b).
