Which of the following reagents is used to test the presence of \( S O_{2} \) gas?
- A. Acidified potassium manganate
- B. Alkaline potassium manganate
- C. Alkaline potassium dichromate
- D. Acidified potassium dichromate
Step-by-step solution
SO2 is a reducing agent. Acidified potassium manganate (KMnO4) is purple and gets reduced to colorless Mn2+ by SO2, providing a clear visual test. Other reagents may also react but are not standard for testing SO2.
