Question:

During the standardisation of \(Na_2S_2O_3\) using \(K_2Cr_2O_7\) by the iodometric method, the equivalent weight of \(K_2Cr_2O_7\) is:

Show Hint

Each Cr atom changes oxidation state by 3, and there are 2 Cr atoms per formula unit.

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Cr2O7(2-) + 14H+ + 6e- -> 2Cr3+ + 7H2O.
Step 2: Each Cr changes by 3, 2 Cr atoms = 6 electrons total.
Step 3: n-factor=6, equivalent weight=MW/6.
\[\boxed{\text{Molecular weight}/6}\]
