Arrange the oxides CrO , CrO ₃ and Cr ₂ O ₃ in the decreasing order of acidic strength
Options
- ACrO ₃> Cr ₂ O ₃> CrO
- BCrO ₃> CrO > Cr ₂ O ₃
- CCrO > Cr ₂ O ₃> CrO ₃
- DCrO > CrO ₃> Cr ₂ O ₃
Correct answer
A. CrO ₃> Cr ₂ O ₃> CrO
Step-by-step solution
Cr in higher oxidation state will be more acidic. Thus, the order of acidic strength will be :- +6 CrO ₃ > +3 CrO O ₃> +2 Cr O
