The oxidation states of transition metal atoms in K 2 Cr 2 O 7 , KMnO 4 and K 2 FeO 4 , respectively, are x , y and z . The sum of x , y and z is______
Correct answer
0
Step-by-step solution
Compound Oxidation state of transition element. Oxidation states of K =+1 and O=-2 (i) K 2 Cr 2 O 7          x = + 6 (ii) KMnO 4                    y = + 7 (iii) K 2 FeO 4                z = + 6 so ( x + y + z ) = 19
