The chemical reaction between the two substances is characterised by a change in colour from orange to green. These two substances are most likely to be: (a) Potassium dichromate solution and sulphur dioxide (b) Potassium permanganate solution and sulphur dioxide (c) Potassium permanganate solution and lemon juice (d) Potassium dichromate solution and carbon dioxide

Answer:

Option (a) is the correct response. The reaction of potassium dichromate with sulphur dioxide is characterised by a colour shift. By passing sulphur dioxide through acidified potassium dichromate, the colour changes from orange to green.
