In the form of dichromate, Cr(VI) is a strong oxidising agent in acidic medium but Mo(VI) in `Mo0_(3)` and W(VI) in `W0_(3)` are not because

A

Cr (VI) is more stable than Mo (VI) and W (VI)

B

Mo (VI) and W (VI) are more stable than Cr (VI)

C

Higher oxidation states of heavier members of Group-6 of transition series are more stable

D

Lower oxidation states of heavier members of Group-6 of transition series are more stable

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B, C
Mo (VI) and W (VI) are more stable than Cr (VI)

Assertion : Cr(VI) in the form of dichromate in acidic medium is a strong oxidising agent where MoO_3 and WO_3 are not. Reason: In d-block elements higher oxidation states are favoured by heavier members.

KMnO_(4) is a strong oxidising agent in acidic medium. To provide acidic medium H_(2)SO_(4) is used instead of HCl. This is because

Potassium dichromate acts as a strong oxidising agent in the acidic medium. When heated with a metal chloride and conc. sulphuric acid, it gives orange red fumes. On passing these fumes through sodium hydroxide, it gives a yellow solution (X) and this acidified solution gives yellow precipitate (Y) with lead acetate. On heating potassium dichromate with KOH, it forms a yellow solution (Z) which on acidification changes to orange colour. Acidified solution of dichromate ion gives deep blue colour with H_2O_2 due to the formation of (P) The oxidation state of Cr in compound P

Assertion : KMn0_(4) is an oxidising agent in neutral, acidic and alkaline medium. Reason : Equivalent mass of KMn0_(4) in acidic medium is 31 ·6.
