    When sulphur dioxide is passed in an acidified\[{{K}_{2}}C{{r}_{2}}{{O}_{7}}\] solution, the oxidation state of sulphur is changed from

    A)  + 4 to 0                               

    B)  + 4 to +2

    C)  + 4 to +6                             

    D)  +6 to +4

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Acidified \[{{K}_{2}}C{{r}_{2}}{{O}_{7}}\] solution oxidises \[S{{O}_{2}}\] into\[C{{r}_{2}}{{(S{{O}_{4}})}_{3}}\].                          \[{{\overset{+\,4}{\mathop{3SO}}\,}_{2}}+{{K}_{2}}C{{r}_{2}}{{O}_{7}}+{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\xrightarrow{{}}{{K}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\]                                                                 \[+\,C{{r}_{2}}{{(\overset{+6}{\mathop{S}}\,{{O}_{4}})}_{3}}+{{H}_{2}}O\] Hence, oxidation state of sulphur changes from +4 to +6.
