During the qualitative analysis of $SO_{3}^{2-}$ using dilute $H_{2}SO_{4}$,$SO_{2}$ gas is evolved which turns $K_{2}Cr_{2}O_{7}$ solution (acidified with dilute $H_{2}SO_{4}$):

An aqueous solution of a salt,when treated with $AgNO_3$ solution,gives a white precipitate which dissolves in $NH_4OH$. The radical present in the salt is:

$A$ white crystalline salt $A$ reacts with dilute $HCl$ to liberate a suffocating gas $B$ and also forms a yellow precipitate. The gas $B$ turns potassium dichromate acidified with dilute $H_{2}SO_{4}$ to a green coloured solution $C$. $A$,$B$ and $C$ are respectively

Aqueous solution of a salt $(A)$ forms a dense white precipitate with $BaCl_{2}$ solution. The precipitate dissolves in dilute $HCl$ to produce a gas $(B)$ which decolourises acidified $KMnO_{4}$ solution. $A$ and $B$ respectively are

How do you account for the following observations?
$(a)$ Though alkaline potassium permanganate and acidic potassium permanganate both are used as oxidants,yet in the manufacture of benzoic acid from toluene,we use alcoholic potassium permanganate as an oxidant. Why? Write a balanced redox equation for the reaction.
$(b)$ When concentrated sulphuric acid is added to an inorganic mixture containing chloride,we get a colourless pungent-smelling gas $HCl$,but if the mixture contains bromide,then we get red vapours of bromine. Why?

$A$ substance on treatment with dilute $H_2SO_4$ liberates a colourless gas which produces:
$(i)$ turbidity with baryta water and
$(ii)$ turns acidified dichromate solution green.
The reaction indicates the presence of:
