paper acidified with dilute turns green when exposed to:
- a
Carbon dioxide
- b
Sulphur trioxide
- c
Hydrogen sulphide
- d✓
Sulphur dioxide
Sulphur dioxide
Concept: Oxidising action of
Acidified (orange) is a strong oxidising agent. When it oxidises a reducing agent, is reduced to (green).
Reaction with :
- (orange) → (green) ✓
- (+4) → (+6) — oxidised
Why others don't cause this:
