Options:
  • A One moles of \( \mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{7}^{2-} \) oxidises \( 3 \) moles of \( \mathrm{SO}_{2} \)
  • B One mole of \( \mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{7}^{2-} \) produces \( 3 \) moles of \( \mathrm{SO}_{4}^{2-} \)
  • C One moles of \( \mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{7}^{2-} \) oxidises \( 3 \) moles of \( \mathrm{SO}_{2} \)
    e mole of \( \mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{7}^{2-} \) produces \( 3 \) moles of \( \mathrm{SO}_{4}^{2-} \)
  • D One mole of \( \mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{7}^{2-} \) ion oxidises \( 2 \) moles of \( \mathrm{SO}_{2} \)

The correct answer is: One moles of \( \mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{7}^{2-} \) oxidises \( 3 \) moles of \( \mathrm{SO}_{2} \)
e mole of \( \mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{7}^{2-} \) produces \( 3 \) moles of \( \mathrm{SO}_{4}^{2-} \)
