MCQ
When SO2​ is passed through an acidified solution of K2​Cr2​O7​, then chromium sulphate is formed. Change in oxidation state of Cr is from.
  • A
    +4 to +2
  • B
    +6 to +3
  • C
    +7 to +2
  • D
    +5 to +3

Answer

  1. +4 to +2

Explanation:

In acidic medium Cr is reduced from +6 to +3 as:

Cr2​O7​−2 + 14H+ 6e− → 2Cr+3 + 7H2​O

and SO2​ is oxidised to SO3​ as:

SO2​ + H2​O → SO3​ + 2H+ 2e
