MCQ
The incorrect statement among the following is :-
  • A
    $VOSO _{4}$ is a reducing agent
  • B
    $Cr _{2} O _{3}$ is an amphoteric oxide
  • $RuO _{4}$ is an oxidizing agent
  • D
    Red colour of ruby is due to the presence of $Co ^{3+}$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$RuO _{4}$ is an oxidizing agent
c
$(i)$ In $VOSO _{4},{ }^{\prime} V ^{\prime}$ is in $+4$ oxidation state. So it act as oxidising agent.

$(ii)$ $Cr _{2} O _{3}$ is an amphoteric oxide.

$(iii)$ $\operatorname{In} RuO _{4},$ $'Ru'$ is in $+8$ oxidation state. So it act as oxidising agent.

$(iv)$ Red colour of ruby is due to the presence of $Cr ^{+3}$ ions in $Al _{2} O _{3}$
