Question 22

How is the presence of SOdetected?

Answer

SOis a colourless and pungent smelling gas.

 

It can be detected with the help of potassium permanganate solution. When SOis passed through an acidified potassium permanganate solution, it decolonizes the solution as it reduces MnO4- ions to Mn2+ ions 

5SO2    +     2MnO4-     +   2H2O    →   5SO42-    +   4H+   +  2Mn2+
