Answer
(a) SO2
Reason — Sulphur dioxide is a colourless gas. It is a reducing agent and turns acidified potassium dichromate solution from orange to green.
(b) NCl3
Reason — Nitrogen trichloride is a yellow explosive oily liquid formed when excess chlorine reacts with ammonia.
NH3 + 3Cl2 ⟶ NCl3 + 3HCl
(c) PbO
Reason — Lead(II) oxide is yellow and is produced when lead carbonate (PbCO3) undergoes thermal decomposition.
PbCO3 ⟶ PbO + CO2
