Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
6
(6) The chemical formula of Chromyl chloride is CrO 2 C1 2 . The oxidation state of chromium in chromyl chloride (CrO 2 C1 2 ) is +6. Let the oxidation number of Chromium be "x", the oxidation state of oxygen is —2, the oxidation state of chlorine is -1. Then,
x + 2(-2) + 2(-l) = 0
x-6 = 0
x = 6
