The reduction of \(K_2Cr_2O_7\) by SO2 produces Cr3+ ions, which impart a green colour to the solution.
Sulphur dioxide
Sulphur trioxide
Carbon dioxide
Hydrogen sulphide
When \(K_2Cr_2O_7\) is acidified with dilute \(H_2SO_4 \)and exposed to\( SO_2\), it gets reduced, turning green due to the formation of\( Cr^3+\) ions:
\(Cr_2O ^{2−} _7 + 3SO_2 + 2H ^+ → 2Cr^{3+} + 3SO^{2−}_ 4 + H_2O\).
Let $ P_n = \alpha^n + \beta^n $, $ n \in \mathbb{N} $. If $ P_{10} = 123,\ P_9 = 76,\ P_8 = 47 $ and $ P_1 = 1 $, then the quadratic equation having roots $ \alpha $ and $ \frac{1}{\beta} $ is:
The elements, in the columns of the periodic table in which d subshells are being occupied are known as d block elements.
These are the elements that have the capability of forming stable cations with incompletely filled d orbitals. Elements like mercury and Zinc are not considered transition metals because they have electronic configurations: (n-1)d10 ns2. These elements have filled d-orbitals in their ground state and, therefore, even in some of their oxidation states.
