Correct Answer: 6

Solution and Explanation

The reaction is as follows:

\[ K_2\text{Cr}_2\text{O}_7 + 4\text{KCl} + 6\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \rightarrow 2\text{CrO}_2\text{Cl}_2 + 6\text{KHSO}_4 + 3\text{H}_2\text{O} \]

This reaction is known as the chromyl chloride test. In this reaction, the oxidation state of chromium in \(\text{CrO}_2\text{Cl}_2\) is \(+6\).
