Gas, \(\mathrm{X}\) tums acidified dichromate \(\left(\mathrm{K}_2 \mathrm{Cr}_2 \mathrm{O}_7\right)\) green that means it is a reducing agent.
\(\mathrm{Cr}(\mathrm{VI})\) from compound \(\mathrm{K}_{22} \mathrm{Cr}_2 \mathrm{O}_7\) on reduction changes its colour from orange to green which is the colour of \(\mathrm{Cr}\) (III) compound \(\mathrm{Y}\). \(\mathrm{SO}_2\) can show both reducing and oxidising properties whereas \(\mathrm{SO}_3\) cannot show reducing property because of highest group number 16 , oxidation state (+6) of sulphur in \(\mathrm{SO}_3\).
So, \(\mathrm{X}\) is \(\mathrm{SO}_2\).
As, \(\mathrm{X}\) reacts with \(\mathrm{K}_2 \mathrm{Cr}_2 \mathrm{O}_7\) in dil. \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4\) medium, the green coloured \(\mathrm{Cr}\) (III) compound, \(\mathrm{Y}\) must be \(\mathrm{Cr}\) (III) sulphate or \(\mathrm{Cr}_2\left(\mathrm{SO}_4\right)_3\).
So, \(\mathrm{Y}\) is \(\mathrm{Cr}_2\left(\mathrm{SO}_4\right)_3\).
The overall reactions can be shown as :
\(\underset{\text { Water soluble } \mathrm{SO}_3^{-} \text {salt }}{(\text { Compound) }} \xrightarrow[\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4]{\text { Dii. }} \underset{(\mathrm{X})}{\mathrm{SO}_2(\mathrm{~g})} \xrightarrow[\text { dil. } \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4]{\mathrm{K}_2 \mathrm{Cr}_2 \mathrm{O}_7} \underset{\substack{(\mathrm{Y}) \\ \text { Green }}}{\mathrm{Cr}_2\left(\mathrm{SO}_4\right)_3}\)
(i) \(\mathrm{SO}_3{ }^{2-}+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4 \rightarrow \mathrm{SO}_2 \uparrow+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}+\mathrm{SO}_4{ }^{2-}\)
(ii) \(\underset{\text{(Orange)}}{\mathrm{K}_2 \stackrel{+6}{\mathrm{Cr}_2} \mathrm{O}_7}+\stackrel{+4}{\mathrm{SO}_2}+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4 \rightarrow \underset{\substack{(\mathrm{Y}) \\ \text { Green }}}{\stackrel{+3}{\mathrm{Cr}_2}\left(\mathrm{SO}_4\right)_3}+\mathrm{K}_2 \stackrel{+6}{\mathrm{SO}_4}+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\)
