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).
