pink to yellow
purple to colourless
Orange to green
Explicació
When sulphur dioxide (SO\(_2\) gas is passed through an acidified potassium permanganate (KMnO\(_4\)) solution, the solution changes from purple to colourless. This is because of a redox reaction, where KMnO\(_4\) acts as an oxidizing agent and SO\(_2\) acts as a reducing agent.
