x moles of K\(_2\)Cr\(_2\)O\(_7\) oxidises 1 mole of ferrous oxalate, in acidic medium. Hence 'x' is:

  1. A \(1.5\)
  2. B \(0.5\)
  3. C \(1.0\)
  4. D \(2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(0.5\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In acidic medium, potassium dichromate acts as an oxidizing agent and its n-factor is \(6\). \(Cr_2O_7^{2-} + 14H^+ + 6e^- \rightarrow 2Cr^{3+} + 7H_2O\) Ferrous oxalate (\(FeC_2O_4\)) undergoes oxidation where both \(Fe^{2+}\) and \(C_2O_4^{2-}\) are oxidized.…
