The equivalent weight of \(\mathrm{K}_{2} \mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{7}\) in acidic medium is expressed in terms of its molecular weight (M) as

  1. A \(M / 3\)
  2. B \(M / 4\)
  3. C \(M / 6\)
  4. D \(M / 7\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(M / 6\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In acidic medium, \[ \mathrm{K}_{2} \mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{7} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Cr}^{3+} \] Equivalent weight of \(\mathrm{K}_{2} \mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{7}=\frac{\text { Molecular weight }}{\text { Change in oxidation state of } \mathrm{c}}\)…
