$CrO_5$ is chromium with four peroxy oxygen and one coordinated oxygen.

It is a butterfly type structure in which central chromium surrounds with 4 peroxy cyclic oxygen and 1 coordinate oxygen. In this, the oxidation number of chromium is +6.

$CrO_5$ has 2 pairs in peroxide. It implies that 4 oxygen is in

$-1$ oxidation state and one in

$-2$ oxidation state.

Hence, option

$(C)$ is correct.

-4

Explanation

oxidation state of

$C$ in

$C_6H_5CHO$ is

$6x+5+x+1+(-2)=0$

$7x+6-2=0$

$7x+4=0$

$7x=-4$

as per the given question sum of oxidation states of all C atoms is sum therefore answer becomes

A solution contains

${Fe}^{+2},{Fe}^{+3}$ and

${I}^{-}$ ions. This solution was treated with iodine at

${35}^{o}C$ . Then the favourable redox reaction is:

(Given that

${ E }_{ { Fe }^{ +3 }/{ Fe }^{ +2 } }^{ o }=+0.77V;\quad { E }_{ { I }_{ 2 }/{ I }^{ - } }^{ o }=0.536V$ )

0%
${I}_{2}$ will be reduced to ${I}^{-}$
0%
there will be no redox reaction
0%
${I}^{-}$ will be oxidised to ${I}_{2}$
0%
${Fe}^{+}$ will be oxidised to ${Fe}^{+3}$

Explanation

${ 2I }^{ - }\rightarrow { I }_{ 2 }+{ 2e }^{ - }(oxidation\quad half-reaction)$

${ E }_{ Oxidation }^{ 0 }=-0.536V$

${ Fe }^{ 3+ }+e^{ - }\rightarrow { Fe }^{ 2+ }(reduction\quad half-reaction)$

$E^{ 0 }_{ Reduction }=-0.77V$
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

${ 2Fe }^{ 3+ }+{ 2I }^{ - }\rightarrow { 2Fe }^{ 2+ }+{ I }_{ 2 }$

$E^{ 0 }={ E }_{ oxidation }^{ 0 }+E_{ Reduction }^{ 0 },+ve$

Hence the reaction will take place.

${ 2I }^{ - }\rightarrow { I }_{ 2 }+{ 2e }^{ - }(oxidation\quad half-reaction)$

${ E }^{ 0 }_{ Oxidation }=-0.536V$

${ Fe }^{ 3+ }+{ e }^{ - }\rightarrow { Fe }^{ 2+ }(reduction\quad half-reaction)$

$E_{ Reduction }^{ 0 }=-0.77V$
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$2Fe^{ 3+ }+{ 2I }^{ - }\rightarrow { 2Fe }^{ 2+ }+{ I }_{ 2 };$

${ E }^{ 0 }={ E }_{ oxidation }^{ 0 }+{ E }_{ reduction }^{ 0 };+ve$

0%
$-1/3$
0%
$+3$
0%

atoms . Average onidation number of Iodine

$=-\dfrac{1}{3}$

B) is covrect answer.

The oxidation number of nitrogen in

$NCI_3$ is ?

0%
$+3$
0%
$-3$
0%
$Zero$
0%
- $1/3$

Explanation

Oxidation number is the apparent charge on an atom of an element present in a molecule.In $NCl_3$ , Electronegativity of Nitrogen is 3 while that of Chlorine is 3.2. Thus Chlorine being more electronegative has oxidation state=-1.

Sum of oxidation numbers of all elements present in a neutral compound is zero.

So, O.N. of Nitrogen+ 3(O.N. of $Cl$ )=0

O.N. of $N^{-3}=0$

O.N. of $N=+3$

${ KMnO }_{ 4 }$ can be prepared from

${ K }_{ 2 }MnO_{ 4 }$ as per the reaction,

${ 3MnO }_{ 2 }^{ 2- }+{ 2H }_{ 2 }O\rightleftharpoons { 2MnO }_{ 4 }^{ - }+{ MnO }_{ 2 }{ +4OH }^{ - }$

The reaction can go to completion by removing

${ OH }^{ - }$ ions by adding:

0%
$KOH$
0%
${ CO }_{ 2 }$
0%
$SO$
0%
$HCl$

Explanation

Since

${OH}^{-}$ are generated from water

$\left( {H}_{2}O \right)$ which is a weak acid, therefore a weak acid like

$C{O}_{2}$ should be used to remove it because-

A strong acid reverse the reaction $\left( HCl \right)$ ,
$KOH$ increases the concentration of ${OH}^{-}$ , thus again shifts the reaction in the backward direction.
$C{O}_{2}$ combines with ${OH}^{-}$ to give carbonate which is easily removed.
$S{O}_{2}$ reacts with water to give strong acid, so it cannot be used.

$3 {K}_{2}Mn{O}_{4} + 2 C{O}_{2} \longrightarrow 2 KMn{O}_{4} + Mn{O}_{2} + 2 {K}_{2}C{O}_{3}$

Hence the reaction can go to completion by removing

${OH}^{−}$ ions by adding

$C{O}_{2}$ .

$+4$

Explanation

$\underset { x }{ [Co } \underset { 0 }{ { \left( { H }_{ 2 }O \right) }_{ 5 } } \underset { -1 }{ { Cl] }^{ 2+ } }$

Let,

$x$ be the oxidation state of Co.

Now,

0%
both of the above
0%
none of these

Explanation

${ \overset { 0 }{ I } }_{ 2 }+K\overset { -1 }{ I } \longrightarrow K{ \overset { -1 }{ I } }_{ 3 }$

Here, only

${ \overset { 0 }{ I } }_{ 2 }$ is reduced to

$K{ \overset { -1 }{ I } }_{ 3 }$ and no other effect takes place.

Therefore, only reduction takes place.

$+6$ to balance out.

$-2 × 3$ oxygen ions and

$+1$ potassium ions and

$Cl$ has

$-1$ (the net total has to be zero for a neutral compound).

oxidation state.

Let oxidation state of Fe be

x

Therefore,

$x + 5(0)+(1)+(-2)=0$ =

$x+ 1-2= 0$

$x= +1$

Hence, the oxidation state of iron in the brown ring complex is

+ 1

Thus option A is correct.

${ 2Cl }^{ - }\left( aq \right) \longrightarrow { Cl }_{ 2 }\left( g \right) +2e^{ - }$

The oxidation state(s) of

$Cl$ in

$CaO_{2}Cl_{2}$ (bleaching powder) is/are:

0%
+1 only
0%
-1 only
0%
+1 and -1
0%
none of these

Explanation

In bleaching powder,

$Ca(OCl)Cl$ , the two

$Cl$ atoms are in different oxidation states i.e., one

$Cl–$ having oxidation number of

$–1$ and the other as

$OCl–$ having oxidation number of

$+1.$

Hence, option C is correct.

The oxidation state of

$Xe$ in

$XeO_{3}$ and bond angle in it are:

0%
$+6,\ 109^{o}$
0%
$+8,\ 103^{o}$
0%
$+6,\ 103^{o}$
0%
$+8,\ 120^{o}$

Explanation

$XeO_3$ , oxidation state of oxygen is

$-2$ .

So,

$x+3(-2)=0$

$\Rightarrow x-6=0$

$\Rightarrow x=6$

where,

$x$ is oxidation state of

$Xe$ .

$O$

$O=\overset {||}{Xe}=O$

Based on structure, it has a tetrahedral shape with bond angle nearly

$109^o$ .

When

$SO_2$ is passed in acidified potassium dichromate solution, the oxidation number of

$S$ is changed from:

0%
$+4$ to zero
0%
$+4$ to $+2$
0%
$+4$ to $+6$
0%
$+6$ to $+4$

Explanation

The reaction of sulphur dioxide with acidified $K_2Cr_2O_7$ in acidic medium is

$3SO_2 + Cr_2O_7^{2-} + 2 H^{+} \rightarrow 3 SO_4^{2-} + 2 Cr^{3+} + H_2O$

So Oxidation state of Sulphur in $SO_2$ is $+4$ which is changed to $+6$ in $SO_4^{2-}$ .

Hence option $C$ is correct.

Oxidation number of N in HNO

$_3$ is :

0%
$-3.5$
0%
$+3.5$
0%
$-6$
0%
none of these

Explanation

Oxidation number of hydrogen =

$+1$

Oxidation number of oxygen=

$-2$

Let oxidation number of nitrogen=

$x$

Since the net charge in the molecule is zero,

$1+x+3\times(-2)=0$

$\Rightarrow x=+5$

Hence D is correct

Which one of the following is a redox reaction ?

0%
$H_{2}+Br_{2} \rightarrow 2HBr$
0%
$2NaCl+H_{2}SO_{4} \rightarrow Na_{2}SO_{4}+2HCl$
0%
$HCl+AgNO_{3} \rightarrow AgCl+HNO_{3}$
0%
$NaOH+HCl \rightarrow NaCl+H_{2}O$

Explanation

Solution:

O.N decreased by

$1$ (Reduction)

(A)

$H_2+Br_2\rightarrow 2HBr$

O.N increased by

$1$ (oxidation)

(B)

$2NaCl+H_2SO_4\rightarrow Na_2SO_4+2HCl$

No oxidation & No reduction occurs

(C)

$HCl+AgNO_3\rightarrow AgCl+HNO_3$

No oxidation & No reduction occurs

(D)

$NaOH+HCl\rightarrow NaCl+H_2O$

No reduction & No oxidation occurs.

Hence, the redox reaction occurs in A.
