Easy MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2023

  1. A Sulphur dioxide Correct answer
  2. B Sulphur trioxide
  3. C Hydrogen sulphide
  4. D Carbon dioxide

Solution

$\mathrm{SO}_{2}$ gets oxidised in presence of $\mathrm{K}_{2} \mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{7}$ and it converts to $\mathrm{Cr}^{+3}$ in presence of dil. $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}$. <br/><br/> Similarly, $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{~S}$ can also get oxidized to sulphur. <br/><br/> However, most appropriate is (A) Sulphur dioxide.
