Identify the case(s) where there is change is oxidation number

  • Acidified solution of CrO42-

  • SO2 gas bubbled through an acidic solution Cr2O72-

  • Alkaline solution of CrO72-

  • Ammoniacal solution of CrO42-


B.

SO2 gas bubbled through an acidic solution Cr2O72-

When SO2 gas bubbled through acidic solution of Cr2O72-, it reacts as following-

Cr2O72 + H+ + SO2 → SO42- + 2Cr3+ + H2O

i.e. Cr2O72- + H2SO4 + 3SO2 → SO42- + 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+
