The correct Answer is:
To determine which statements about the given reaction are not correct, we need to analyze the reaction step by step. ### Given Reaction: \[ \text{Cr}_2\text{O}_7^{2-} + 3\text{H}_2\text{O}_2 + 8\text{H}^+ \rightarrow 2\text{Cr}^{3+} + 7\text{H}_2\text{O} + 3\text{O}_2 \] ### Step 1: Identify Oxidation States - **Chromium in \(\text{Cr}_2\text{O}_7^{2-}\)**: - Let the oxidation state of Cr be \(x\). - The equation for the oxidation state is: \[ 2x + 7(-2) = -2 \] \[ 2x - 14 = -2 \] \[ 2x = 12 \] \[ x = +6 \] - **Chromium in \(\text{Cr}^{3+}\)**: - The oxidation state is +3. ### Step 2: Determine Change in Oxidation State - The change in oxidation state of chromium: - From +6 to +3, the change is: \[ +6 - (+3) = +3 \] ### Step 3: Analyze Hydrogen Peroxide (\(\text{H}_2\text{O}_2\)) - **Oxidation of \(\text{H}_2\text{O}_2\)**: - In the reaction, \(\text{H}_2\text{O}_2\) is oxidized to \(\text{O}_2\). ### Step 4: Analyze Hydrogen Ions (\(\text{H}^+\)) - **Reduction of \(\text{H}^+\)**: - The hydrogen ions are not oxidized to \(\text{H}_2\text{O}\) in this reaction. Instead, they participate in the overall reaction to balance charges and contribute to the formation of water. ### Conclusion: Based on the analysis: 1. **Statement A**: \(\text{H}_2\text{O}_2\) is oxidized to \(\text{O}_2\) - **True** 2. **Statement B**: \(\text{H}_2\text{O}_2\) is reduced to \(\text{H}_2\text{O}\) - **Not Correct** 3. **Statement C**: The oxidation number of chromium changes by 3 - **True** 4. **Statement D**: Hydrogen ions are oxidized to \(\text{H}_2\text{O}\) - **Not Correct** ### Final Answer: The statements that are not correct are **B** and **D**.

To determine which statements about the given reaction are not correct, we need to analyze the reaction step by step. ### Given Reaction: \[ \text{Cr}_2\text{O}_7^{2-} + 3\text{H}_2\text{O}_2 + 8\text{H}^+ \rightarrow 2\text{Cr}^{3+} + 7\text{H}_2\text{O} + 3\text{O}_2 \] ### Step 1: Identify Oxidation States - **Chromium in \(\text{Cr}_2\text{O}_7^{2-}\)**: - Let the oxidation state of Cr be \(x\). ...
