Since, OH−are generated from weak acid (H2O), a weak acid ( like CO2) should be used to remove it because of strong acid (HCl) reverse the reaction. KOH increases the concentration of OH−, thus again shifts the reaction in backward side. CO2 combines with OH−to give carbonate which is easily removed. SO2 reacts with water to give strong acid, so it cannot be used.
