Identify the case(s) where there is change is oxidation number
Acidified solution of CrO
SO2 gas bubbled through an acidic solution Cr2O
Alkaline solution of CrO
Ammoniacal solution of CrO
B.
SO2 gas bubbled through an acidic solution Cr2O
When SO2 gas bubbled through acidic solution of Cr2O, it reacts as following-
Cr2O + H+ + SO2 → SO + 2Cr3+ + H2O
i.e. Cr2O + H2SO4 + 3SO2 → SO + H2O + Cr2(SO4)3
In the above reaction, chromium changes its oxidation number form +6 to +3 and sulphur gets oxidised.
In aqueous solution, Cr2+ is a stronger reducing agent than Fe2+. This is because
Cr2+ ion is more stable than Fe2+
Cr3+ ion with d3 configuration has favourable crystal field stabilisation energy
Cr3+ has half filled configuration and hence more stable
Fe3+ in aqueous solution is more stable than Cr3+
