Zinc pieces are added to acidified solution of SO32-. Gas liberated can :

Options

A.turn lead acetate paper black
B.turn lime water milky
C.give white precipitate with AgNO3 solution
D.decolourize acidified KMnO4 solution

Solution

SO32- + Zn + 8H+ →  H2S ­ ↑+ 3Zn2+ + 3H2O
Pb2+ + S2-  →  PbS ↓ (black)
Ag+ + S2-  →  Ag2S↓ (black)
2MnO4- + 5H2S + 6H+ → 2Mn2+ + 5S + 8H2O
