    In an oxidation reduction reaction, dichromate \[(C{{r}_{2}}O_{7}^{2-})\] ion is reduced to \[C{{r}^{3+}}\] ion. The equivalent weight of \[{{K}_{2}}C{{r}_{2}}{{O}_{7}}\] in this reaction is molecular weight

    A) \[\frac{molecular\,\,weight}{3}\]

    B)        \[\frac{molecular\,\,weight}{6}\]

    C)        \[\frac{molecular\,\,weight}{1}\]

    D)        \[\frac{molecular\,\,weight}{2}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[\overset{+6}{\mathop{{{K}_{2}}C{{r}_{2}}{{O}_{7}}}}\,+4{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\xrightarrow{{}}{{K}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}+\overset{+3}{\mathop{C{{r}_{2}}}}\,{{(S{{O}_{4}})}_{3}}\]                                                                 \[+4{{H}_{2}}+3[O]\] Equivalent weight \[=\frac{Molecular\,\,weight}{\begin{align}   & Change\,\,in\,\,oxidation\,\,number\,\,of\,\,atoms \\  & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,present\,\,in\,\,one\,\,molecular \\ \end{align}}\] \[\therefore \]Equivalent weight\[=\frac{Molecular\,\,weight}{2\times 3}\]                                 \[=\frac{Molecular\,\,weight}{6}\]
