    In acidic medium, dichromate ion oxidises ferrous ion to ferric ion. If the gram molecular weight of potassium dichromate is 294 g, its gram equivalent weight is ...... g.

    A)  294                                       

    B)  147            

    C)  49                                         

    D)  24.5           

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                     The reaction of dichromate ion with ferrous ion in acidic medium takes place as: \[6F{{e}^{2+}}+C{{r}_{2}}O_{7}^{2-}+14{{H}^{+}}\xrightarrow{{}}\] \[6{{F}^{3+}}+2C{{r}^{3+}}+7{{H}_{2}}O\] Total change in oxidation state of iron is \[\overset{+12}{\mathop{6F{{e}^{2+}}}}\,\xrightarrow{{}}\overset{+18}{\mathop{6F{{e}^{3+}}}}\,\] Total change = + 6 So, gram equivalent weight of \[{{K}_{2}}C{{r}_{2}}{{O}_{7}}\] \[\text{=}\,\,\frac{\text{294}}{\text{Total}\,\text{change}\,\text{in}\,\text{O}\text{.S}}\] \[=\frac{294}{6}=49\,g\]
