Redox Reactions And Electrochemistry Ques 361

Question: In the following unbalanced redox reaction, $ Cu_3P+Cr_2O_7^{2-}\to C{{u}^{2+}}+H_3PO_4+C{{r}^{3+}} $ Equivalent weight of $ H_3PO_4 $ is

Options:

A) $ \frac{M}{3} $

B) $ \frac{M}{6} $

C) $ \frac{M}{7} $

D) $ \frac{M}{8} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

[d] $ \underset{\underset{-3}{\mathop{\uparrow }},}{\mathop{Cu_3P}},\to \underset{\underset{+5}{\mathop{\uparrow }},}{\mathop{H_3PO_4}}, $ Change in oxidation number =8 units of phosphorus
$ \therefore $ Equivalent weight of $ H_3PO_4=\frac{M}{8} $
