In the practical laboratory, certain tests have to be conducted to identify them. Actually you already have the knowledge on how to use OA and RA back in Secondary Three. Do you recall the test of the presence of sulfur dioxide?

Sulfur dioxide is a pungent and colourless gas. by putting a piece of paper damned with potassium dichromate(VI) solution, the colour of potassium dichromate turns from orange to green. So what role is sulfur dioxide playing?
