Here are the solutions to the questions based on the provided image.


Question 1: State the observations made when Sulphur (IV) Oxide is bubbled through the following:

Sulphur (IV) oxide (SO2\text{SO}_2) is a reducing agent. It will reduce the oxidizing agents listed below.

a) Acidified Potassium Dichromate (VI)
Potassium dichromate (VI) solution is orange. SO2\text{SO}_2 reduces Cr6+\text{Cr}^{6+} (orange) to Cr3+\text{Cr}^{3+} (green).
Observation: The orange solution turns green.

b) Bromine water
Bromine water is orange/yellow/brown. SO2\text{SO}_2 reduces Br2\text{Br}_2 (orange/yellow/brown) to Br−\text{Br}^- (colorless).
Observation: The orange/yellow/brown solution turns colorless.

c) Nitric (V) acid
Nitric (V) acid is an oxidizing agent. SO2\text{SO}_2 is oxidized to sulfuric acid, while nitric acid is reduced, typically producing nitrogen dioxide gas.
Observation: Brown fumes (of nitrogen dioxide, NO2\text{NO}_2) are produced.

d) Acidified Potassium Manganate (VII)
Potassium manganate (VII) solution is purple. SO2\text{SO}_2 reduces Mn7+\text{Mn}^{7+} (purple) to Mn2+\text{Mn}^{2+} (colorless).
Observation: The purple solution turns colorless.

e) Iron (III) Chloride solution
Iron (III) chloride solution is yellow/brown. SO2\text{SO}_2 reduces Fe3+\text{Fe}^{3+} (yellow/brown) to Fe2+\text{Fe}^{2+} (pale green).
Observation: The yellow/brown solution turns pale green.


Question 2:

The question states: "Figure 1 is a flow chart which shows various reactions starting with hydrogen and nitrogen. Study it and answer the questions that follow."

Unfortunately, Figure 1 (the flowchart) is completely unreadable in the provided image. Therefore, I cannot answer any questions related to it.
