Redox Reactions And Electrochemistry Ques 356

Question: An element A in a compound ABD has oxidation number An . It is oxidised by Cr2O72 in acid medium. In the experiment 1.68×103 moles of K2Cr2O7 was used for 3.26×103 moles of ABD. The new oxidation number of A after oxidation is:

Options:

A) 3

B) 3-n

C) n-3

D) +n

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

[b] Meq. of K2Cr2O7=Meq. of ABD n-factor of K2Cr2O7 in acidic medium =6 6×1.68×103=x×3.26×103 x=3
New oxidation state of An will be =-n+3
