The oxidation number of $$Cr$$ in $$Cr{O_5}$$ which has the following structure is
A
+4
B
+5
C
+6
D
+3
Answer :
+6
It has four $$O$$ atoms as peroxide with oxidation number = - 1 and one $$O$$ atom with oxidation number = - 2.
Hence, $$x + 4\left( { - 1} \right) + 1\left( { - 2} \right) = 0$$ or $$x = + 6$$

The stoichiometric constants for the reaction $$pCu + qHN{O_3} \to $$ $$rCu{\left( {N{O_3}} \right)_2} + sNO + t{H_2}O$$
$$p,q,r,s$$ and $$t$$ respectively are
A
3, 3, 3, 2, 3
B
3, 2, 3, 2, 4
C
3, 8, 3, 2, 4
D
2, 3, 3, 3, 2
Answer :
3, 8, 3, 2, 4
Multiply $$Cu$$ term with 3 and $$N$$ term with 2
$$3Cu + 2HN{O_3}$$ $$ \to 3Cu{\left( {N{O_3}} \right)_2} + 2NO + {H_2}O$$
$${\text{Balance }}H{\text{ and }}O$$
$$3Cu + 8HN{O_3} \to $$ $$3Cu{\left( {N{O_3}} \right)_2} + 2NO + 4{H_2}O$$

Using the following Latimer diagram for bromine, \[pH=0;BrO_{4}^{-}\xrightarrow{1.82\,V}BrO_{3}^{-}\] \[\xrightarrow{1.50\,V}HBrO\xrightarrow{1.595\,V}B{{r}_{2}}\] \[\xrightarrow{1.06552\,V}B{{r}^{-}}\]
the species undergoing disproportionation is
A
$$BrO_4^ - $$
B
$$BrO_3^ - $$
C
$$HBrO$$
D
$$B{r_2}$$
Answer :
$$HBrO$$
If the potential to the left of a given chemical species is less than that to the right, the species will undergo disproportionation.
