Acidified solution of K2Cr2O7 oxidises which of the following?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
Cr2O72- + 3SO32- + 8H+ → 2Cr3+ + 3SO42- + 4H2O
K2Cr2O7 can oxidise SO32- (Sulphite ions) to SO42- (Sulphate ions)
Nitrate ion, ferric ion, and borate ions are already in their highest oxidation state thus they cannot be further oxidized.
