Acidified K2Cr2O7 solution turns green when Na2SO3 is added to it. This is due to the formation of:

  1. Cr2(SO4)3
  2. CrO4^2−
  3. Cr2(SO3)3
  4. CrSO4

Correct answer: Cr2(SO4)3

Solution

When Na2SO3 is added to acidified K2Cr2O7, the dichromate ion (Cr2O7^2−) is reduced to Cr3+ ions, which combine with sulfate ions to form Cr2(SO4)3, giving the solution a green color.
