The incorrect statement among the following is :-
- A \(VOSO _{4}\) is a reducing agent
- B \(Cr _{2} O _{3}\) is an amphoteric oxide
- C \(RuO _{4}\) is an oxidizing agent
- D Red colour of ruby is due to the presence of \(Co ^{3+}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) Red colour of ruby is due to the presence of \(Co ^{3+}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\((i)\) In \(VOSO _{4},{ }^{\prime} V ^{\prime}\) is in \(+4\) oxidation state. So it act as oxidising agent. \((ii)\) \(Cr _{2} O _{3}\) is an amphoteric oxide. \((iii)\) \(\operatorname{In} RuO _{4},\) \('Ru'\) is in \(+8\) oxidation state. So it act as oxidising agent.…
