The oxidation state of chromium in the final product formed in the reaction between KI and acidified K2Cr2O7 solution is :

  1. +2
  2. +3
  3. +4
  4. +6

Answer

(2) +3

Solution

Acidified dichromate oxidises iodide to iodine and is itself reduced to Cr3+:

Cr2O72- + 14H+ + 6I- 2Cr3+ + 3I2 + 7H2O

Oxidation state of Cr changes from +6 (in Cr2O72-) to +3 (in Cr3+).

Answer: (2)
