Question

When Hydrogen Sulphide ($H_2S$) gas is bubbled through a strongly acidified, orange solution of Potassium Dichromate, the solution turns green. What specific solid precipitate drops out of the solution?

Answer: D

💡 Solution & Explanation

Dichromate is a potent oxidizer in acid. It oxidizes the $-2$ sulfur in $H_2S$ directly to neutral, elemental sulphur ($S^0$), appearing as a yellow-white turbidity. The orange $Cr^{6+}$ is simultaneously reduced to green $Cr^{3+}$.
