A) +3, + 2
B) +3, +6
C) +2, + 6
D) +2, + 3
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
Chromite or chrome iron ore is \[FeC{{r}_{2}}{{O}_{4}}\]. Its actual composition is \[FeO.C{{r}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}\]. In \[\text{FeO}\], oxidation state of Fe is calculated as \[x+(-2)=0\] \[x=+2\] Similarly, in \[C{{r}_{2}}{{O}_{3}},\] the oxidation state of Cr is calculated as \[2\times x+(-2)\times 3=0\] \[2x=+6\] \[x=+3\]
