When sulphur dioxide is passed in an acidified K ₂ Cr ₂ O ₇ solution, the oxidation state of sulphur is changed from
Options
- A+4 to 0
- B+4 to +2
- C+4 to +6
- D+6 to +4
Correct answer
C. +4 to +6
Step-by-step solution
Acidified K ₂ Cr ₂ O ₇ solution oxidises SO ₂ into Cr ₂ ( SO ₄ )₃ . aligned 3 SO ₂+ K ₂ Cr ₂ O ₇+& H ₂ SO ₄ K ₂ SO ₄ &+ Cr ₂ ( SO ₄ )₃+ H ₂ O aligned Hence, oxidation state of sulphur changes from +4 to +6 .
