Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(+4\) to \(+6\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(3 \mathrm{SO}_{2}+\mathrm{K}_{2} \mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{7}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4} \longrightarrow \mathrm{K}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}+\mathrm{Cr}_{2}\left(\mathrm{SO}_{4}\right)_{3}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\) O.N. of \(\mathrm{S}\) in \(\mathrm{SO}_{2}\) is…
