On heating a mixture of common salt and \(K_{2}Cr_{2}O_{7}\) with concentrated \(H_{2}SO_{4}\), a gas is evolved. Formula of the gas evolved and oxidation state of the central metal atom in the gas respectively are:

  1. A \(CrO_{2}Cl_{2}\) and +5
  2. B \(CrO_{2}Cl_{2}\) and +6
  3. C \(Cr_{2}O_{2}Cl_{2}\) and +6
  4. D \(Cr_{2}O_{2}Cl_{2}\) and +3
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(CrO_{2}Cl_{2}\) and +6

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(4 NaCl + K _2 Cr _2 O _7+6 H _2 SO _4\) \(\longrightarrow 2 KHSO _4+2 CrO _2 Cl _2+4 NaHSO _4+3 H _2 O\) (Chromyl chloride) In Chromyl chloride Cr is in +6 oxidation state.
