Conc:H2SO4 is added to a mixture of K2CR2O7 and metal chloride is solid scale. Brown vapors are formed. Which one is the correct formula?

Correct answer: C. CrO2Cl2

  • A. CrOCl2
  • B. COCl2
  • C. CrO2Cl2
  • D. CrCl6

Explanation

When a mixture of K2CR2O7 and metal chloride is added in warm conc: H2SO4 Chromyl chloride ( CrO2Cl2) which forms a deep reddish brown color vapors These vapors when passed into NaOH solution gives a yellow solution of Na2CrO4. 6H2SO4 + K2CR2O7 + 4NaCl --> 2KHSO4 + 4NaHSO4 + 2CrO2Cl2 +3 H20 CrO2Cl2 + 2NaOH → Na2CrO4 + 2HCL (YELLOW SOLUTION)

About Redox Reactions

Redox reactions involve oxidation and reduction occurring together, with electrons transferred between species or oxidation numbers changing. The topic covers assigning oxidation states, identifying oxidizing and reducing agents, balancing redox equations by oxidation number or half-reaction methods, and connecting chemical changes with galvanic and electrolytic cells.
