Using Ion electron method :
Reduction Half reaction : $Cr _2 O _7^{2-}+6 e ^{-} \longrightarrow 2 Cr ^{3+}$
Oxidation Half reaction: $SO _3^{2-} \longrightarrow SO _4^{2-}+2 \overline{ e } \times 3$
Overall reaction : $Cr _2 O _7^{2-}+3 SO _3^{2-} \longrightarrow 2 Cr ^{3+}+3 SO _4^{2-}$
- To balance 'O' atoms, adding $H _2 O$ on LHS
$Cr _2 O _7^{2-}+3 SO _3^{2-} \longrightarrow 2 Cr ^{3+}+3 SO _4^{2-}+4 H _2 O$
- To balance 'H' atoms, adding $H ^{+}$on $RHS$
$Cr _2 O _7^{2-}+3 SO _3^{2-}+8 H ^{+} \longrightarrow 2 Cr ^{3+}+3 SO _4^{2-}+4 H _2 O$
$\therefore \quad a =1$
$b =3$

Colour of acidified $K _2Cr_2O_7$ is not changed by
- A
$H_2O_2$
- B
$Sn^{2+}(aq.)$
- ✓
$HF$
- D
$HBr$
Answerc
The color of acidified $K _2 Cr _2 O _7$ is not changed if after reacting with a substance, the oxidation state of the transition metal, $Cr$, in the compound remains the same.
The oxidation state of $Cr$ in $K _2 Cr _2 O _7$ is calculated as :
$2+2 x +(-2) \times 7=0$
$\Rightarrow 2+2 x -14=0$
$\Rightarrow 2 x -12=0$
$\Rightarrow 2 x =+12$
$\Rightarrow x =+6$
$\therefore$ Oxidations state of $Cr =+3$
Potassium dichromate reacts with hydrogen fluoride to produce potassium fluorotrioxochromate $(VI)$ and water. The reaction involved is :
$K _2 Cr _2 O _7+2 HF \rightarrow 2 K \left[ CrO _3 F \right]+ H _2 O$
The oxidation state of $Cr$ in $K \left[ CrO _3 F \right]$ can be calculated as follows:
$+1+ x +(-2) \times 3+(-1)=0$
$\Rightarrow+1+ x -6-1=0$
$\Rightarrow x -6=0$
$\Rightarrow x =+6$
$\therefore$ Oxidations state of $Cr =+3$
Since, there is no change in the oxidation state of $Cr$ in the reactant and in the product, the color of the solution doesn't change. Therefore, the color of acidified $K _2 Cr _2 O _7$ is not changed by $HF$.

The number of moles of acidified $KMnO_4$ required to convert one mole of sulphite ion into sulphate ion is
Answera
The balanced chemical reaction is:
$2 \mathrm{MnO}_{4}^{-}+5 \mathrm{CO}_{4}^{2-}+16 \mathrm{H}^{+} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{Mn}^{2+}+5 \mathrm{SO}_{4}^{2-}+3 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$
From the balanced chemical equation we can say that:
$\because 5$ moles $\mathrm{SO}_{4}^{2-}$ reacts with 2 moles of $\mathrm{KMnO}_{4}$.
$\therefore 1$ mole $\mathrm{SO}_{4}^{2-}$ reacts with $2 / 5$ mole of $\mathrm{KMnO}_{4}$
Hence, the correct option is $\mathrm{A}$

Number of moles of ${K_2}C{r_2}{O_7}$ reduced by one mole of $S{n^{2 + }}$ ions is
Answera
Ionic form of reaction is:
$Cr _2 O _7^{2-}+ Sn ^{+2}+ H ^{+} \rightarrow Sn ^{-4}+ Cr ^{+3}+ H _2 O$
Step $1:$ Assign the oxidation state using oxidation number of $O =-2$.
we get:
$Cr _2 O _7^{2-}+ Sn ^{+2+}+ H ^{+} \rightarrow Sn ^{+4}+ Cr ^{+3}+ H _2 O$
Reduction half-reaction:
$Cr _2 O _7^{2-} \rightarrow 2 Cr ^{-3}:$ Gain of 6 electrons
Oxidation half reaction:
$Sn ^{+2} \rightarrow Sn ^{+4}:$ Loss of $2$ electrons
Step $2:$ Equalise the number of electrons as:
Oxidation half reaction:
$3 Sn ^{-2} \rightarrow 3 Sn ^{+4}$
Step $3:$ balance $O$ atoms by adding $H _2 O$ and then $H$ by $H ^{+}$
$Cr _2^{+6} O _7^{2-}+14 H ^{+} \rightarrow 2 Cr ^{-3+}+7 H _2 O$
Step $4:$ overall reaction:
$Cr _2^{+6} O _7^{2-}+14 H ^{+}+3 Sn ^{+2} \rightarrow 2 Cr ^{3+}+3 Sn ^{+4}+7 H _2 O$
Thus $3$ mole of $Sn ^{2+}$ will reduce 1 moles of $K _2 Cr _2 O _7$.
Therefore,$1$ mole of $Sn ^{2+}$ will reduce $\frac{1}{3}$ moles of $K _2 Cr _2 O _7$.

$(D)$ $5$ electrons in acidic medium
- ✓
$(A,C,D)$
- B
$(A,B,C)$
- C
$(B,C,D)$
- D
$(A,B,D)$
AnswerCorrect option: A. $(A,C,D)$
a
In neutral medium
$MnO _4^{-}+2 H _2 O +3 e^{-} \rightarrow MnO _2+4 OH ^{-}$
In alkaline medium
$MnO _4^{-}+e^{-} \rightarrow MnO _4^{2-}$
But $MnO _4^{2-}$ is further reduced to $MnO _2$ as shown below
$MnO _4^{2-}+2 H _2 O +2 e^{-} \rightarrow MnO _2+4 OH ^{-}$
Complete reaction is
$MnO _4^{2-}+2 H _2 O +3 e^{-} \rightarrow MnO _2+4 OH ^{-}$
which is the same as that for neutral medium.
In acidic medium
$MnO _4^{-}+8 H ^{+}+5 e^{-} \rightarrow Mn ^{2+}+4 H _2 O$
Hence, the number of electrons involved in the reduction of metal centre in aqueous $MnO _4^{-}$ion in neutral, alkaline and acidic media are $3,3$ and $5$ respectively.

Basicity of $H_3BO_3$ is :
Answera
Protic acid is an acid that can undergo ionization and produce hydrogen ions/protons. However, aprotic acids do not produce any hydrogen ions/protons.
Although Boric acid contains 3 OH groups yet it can act as monobasic acid rather than tribasic acid. This is because boric acid does not act as a proton donor rather it accepts a pair of
electrons from $\mathrm{OH}^{-}$ ions.
It does not donate $\mathrm{H}^{+}$ rather it accepts an electron pair from the solution or the donor i.e. $\mathrm{OH}^{-}$
Thus, Boric acid is an aprotic acid (like lewis acid) and monobasic acid.

${H_2}{O_2} + 2O{H^ - } \to {O_2} + 2{H_2}O + 2{e^ - }$
$Cl{O_2} + 2{H_2}O + 5{e^ - } \to C{l^ - } + 4O{H^ - }] \times 2$
${H_2}{O_2} + 2O{H^ - } \to {O_2} + 2{H_2}O + 2e] \times 2$

AnswerCorrect option: D. $2KClO_3 \to 2KCl + 3O_2$
d
Disproportionation reaction:
It is a redox reaction where one element works both ways with part of it being oxidized and another part is reduced. It does not have to be strictly ultramolecular, because the oxidizing and reducing agents need not come from the same molecule.
$(a) \,P _4+\overline{ O } H \longrightarrow PH _3+ H _3 PO _2^{-}$
Phosphorus is oxidized and reduced.
$(b) \,Cl _2+\overline{ O } H \longrightarrow Cl ^{-}+ ClO ^{-}$
Chlorine is oxidized and reduced.
$(c) \,Br _2+\overline{ O } H \longrightarrow Br ^{-}+ BrO _3^{-}$
Bromine is oxidized and reduced
$(d) \,2 KClO _3 \longrightarrow 2 KCl +3 O _2$
Here, chlorine is reduced from $+5$ to $-1$ oxidation state while oxygen is oxidized from $-2$ to $0$ oxidation state.
$\therefore$ It is not a disproportionation reaction.

c
When an atom present in its intermediate oxidation state then it can act both oxidizing agents as well as a reducing agent.
1.1n KMnO $_{4}, \mathrm{Mn}$ is in +7 oxidation state so it cannot acts as reducing agent.
$\mathrm{O}_{3}$ can only act as an oxidising agent due to its unstable nature.
In $\mathrm{SO}_{3}, \mathrm{S}$ is in +6 oxidation state so it cannot acts as reducing agent.
2.In $\mathrm{HClO}_{4}, \mathrm{Cl}$ is in +7 oxidation state so it cannot acts as reducing agent.
HN $\mathrm{O}_{2}$ can act both oxidizing as well as reducing agent because N is in +3 oxidation state.
In $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}, \mathrm{O}$ is in -1 oxidation state so can act both oxidizing as well as reducing agent.
3.In HN O can act both oxidizing as well as reducing agent because N is in +3 oxidation state.
In $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}, \mathrm{O}$ is in -1 oxidation state so can act both oxidizing as well as reducing agent.
ln $\mathrm{SO}_{2}, \mathrm{S}$ is in +4 oxidation state so it can act as both oxidizing agent as well as reducing agent.
4.HN O $_{2}$ can act both oxidizing as well as reducing agent because $\mathrm{N}$ is in +3 oxidation state.
In $\mathrm{SO}_{2}, \mathrm{S}$ is in +4 oxidation state so it can act as both oxidizing agent as well as reducing agent.
But $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}$ cannot acts as reducing agent because S is present in its higher oxidation state.
So $(\mathrm{C})$ is a correct answer.

Answera
Consider the reaction,
$MnO _{4}^{-}+5 e^{-} \rightarrow Mn ^{2+}$
The reaction equation of compound $FeC _{2} O _{4}$ is,
$FeC _{2} O _{4} \rightarrow Fe ^{3+}+2 CO _{2}+3 e^{-}$
So, $1$ mole of $FeC _{2} O _{4}$ requires $\frac{3}{5}$ moles of $KMnO _{4}$.
The reaction equation of compound $Fe _{2}\left( C _{2} O _{4}\right),$ is,
$Fe _{2}\left( C _{2} O _{4}\right)_{3} \rightarrow Fe ^{3+}+ CO _{2}+6 e^{-}$
So, $1$ mole of $Fe _{2}\left( C _{2} O _{4}\right)_{3}$ requires $\frac{6}{5}$ moles of $KMnO _{4}$.
The reaction equation of compound $FeSO _{4}$ is,
$FeSO _{4} \rightarrow Fe ^{3+}+e^{-}$
So, $1$ mole of $FeSO _{4}$ requires $\frac{1}{5}$ moles of $KMnO _{4}$.
since $Fe _{2}\left( SO _{4}\right)_{3}$ does not oxidize.
The total number of required moles is,
$n=\frac{3}{5}+\frac{6}{5}+\frac{1}{5}$
$n=2$
