Answer:
Correct Answer: 12. (d)
Solution:
- $n$-factor of dichromate is 6 .
Also, $n$-factor of Mohr’s salt is 1 as :
$\because 1$ mole of dichromate $=6$ equivalent of dichromate.
$\therefore 6$ equivalent of Mohr’s salt would be required.
Since, $n$-factor of Mohr’s salt is 1,6 equivalent of it would also be equal to 6 moles.
Hence, 1 mole of dichromate will oxidise 6 moles of Mohr’s salt.
