The number of moles of electron required to reduce \( 0.2 \) mole of \( \mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{7}^{-2} \) to \( \mathrm{Cr}^{+3} \)

  1. A \( 12 \)
  2. B \( 0.6 \)
  3. C \( 1.2 \)
  4. D \( 06 \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \( 1.2 \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\[
\begin{array}{l}
\text { (C) } \\
\mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{7}{ }^{-2} \stackrel{6 e^{-}}{\rightarrow} 2 \stackrel{+3}{\mathrm{Cr}}
\end{array}
\]
\( 1 \) mol requires \( 6 \) mole of electrons
\( 0.2 \) mol requires \( \frac{0.2 \times 6}{1}=1.2 \mathrm{~mol} \) of electrons
