12.5 ml of 0.05 M SeO2 reacts with 25 ml of 0.1 M CrSO4 which is oxidised to Cr3+. To what oxidation state was the selenium converted by the reaction?

Solution
Here, CrSO4 is oxidised to Cr3+, so n-factor is 1. In SeO2 Oxidation state of Se is +4 lets assume it is reduced to +x oxidation state. So, n-factor of Se = 4−x equating the meqv. we get (4−x)×12.5×0.05 = 25×0.1 x=0
