  • Question
  • The oxidation number of Cr in K2Cr2O7 is


  • Options
  • A. +6
  • B. -5
  • C. +3
  • D. -4

  • Correct Answer
  • +6 

    Explanation

    We will rewrite the formula as an equation.

    2K + 2Cr + 7O = 0

    The zero comes from there being no overall charge on the compound.

    Each oxidation number is represented by the element's symbol.

    Since this compound is not a peroxide or superoxide, the oxidation value for O is -2

    K being in group 1 has a +1 charge and therefore has an oxidation number of K is +1

    Now, by putting known values in we have:

    2(+1) + 2(Cr) + 7(-2) = 0

    2 + 2Cr -14 = 0

    2Cr = +12

    Cr = +6.
