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

    A)  294 g           

    B)  127g

    C)  49 g           

    D)  24.5 g

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     \[C{{r}_{2}}O_{7}^{2-}+14{{H}^{+}}+6{{e}^{-}}\xrightarrow{{}}2C{{r}^{3+}}+7{{H}_{2}}O\] Gram eq. wt. \[=\frac{\text{Gram}\,\text{molecular}\,\text{weight}}{\begin{align}   & \text{Change}\,\text{in}\,\text{oxidation}\,\text{number} \\  & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\text{per}\,\text{atom} \\ \end{align}}\]\[\text{Gram}\,\text{eq}\text{.wt}\text{.=}\frac{294}{6}\] \[=49\,g\]
