Q:

The oxidation number of Cr in K2Cr2O7 is

A) +6 B) -5
C) +3 D) -4
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) +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.
