Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 12

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(Cr _2 O _7^{2-}+14 H ^{+}+6 I ^{-} \rightarrow 2 Cr ^{3+}+3 I _2+7 H _2 O\) no. of moles \(e ^{-}\)involved \(= x =6\) \(Cr _2 O _7^{2-}+3 S^{2-}+14 H ^{+} \rightarrow+ S +2 Cr ^{3+}+7 H _2 O\) No. of moles \(e ^{-}\) involved \(= y =6\) Sum of \(x+y=6+6=12\)
