Calculate the oxidation number of Cr in CrO ₄²⁻ ion and K ₂ Cr ₂ O ₇ respectively.
Options
- A+4 and +6
- B+3 and +2
- C+6 and +6
- D+8 and +2
Correct answer
C. +6 and +6
Step-by-step solution
Let x be the oxidation number of Cr in CrO ₄²⁻ array ll & x+4 (-2)=-2 & x-8=-2 & x=8-2=+6 array Let y be the oxidation number of Cr in K ₂ Cr ₂ O ₇ array ll & 2 (+1)+2(y)+7 (-2)=0 & +2+2 y-14=0 & 2 y=12 & y=+6 array
