Which of the following metals is purified commercially by electrolysis?

A.

Zn

B.

Fe

C.

Sn

D.

Cu

Correct answer is D

Electrolysis is used extensively in metallurgical processes, such as in extraction (electrowinning) or purification (electrorefining) of metals from ores or compounds and in deposition of metals from solution (electroplating).

Copper is purified by electrolysis . Electricity is passed through solutions containing copper compounds, such as copper(II) sulfate.

The oxidation state of Cr in K\(_2\)Cr\(_2\)O\(_7\) is?

A.

+7

B.

+6

C.

+5

D.

4

Correct answer is B

Potassium dichromate, K\(_2\)Cr\(_2\)O\(_7\) 

→ [1 * 2] + [Cr * 2] + [-2 * 7] = 0

→ 2 + 2Cr - 14 = 0

→ 2Cr = 12

→Cr = \(\frac{12}{2}\) → 6

The colour changes observed when testing for reducing agents using acidified potassium heptaoxodichromate (VI) solution is?

A.

yellow to purple

B.

orange to green

C.

green to orange

D.

purple to yellow

Correct answer is B

Reducing agent like SO\(_2\).

Sulphur dioxide gas (SO\(_2\)) is bubbled through acidified potassium dichromate. The orange solution turns green.
