Solution
The correct option is B0.045 M The balanced chemical equation is K2Cr2O7+4H2SO4+3Na2SO3→K2SO4+Cr2(SO4)3+3Na2SO4+4H2O. Hence, 1 mole of potassium dichromate corresponds to 3 moles of sodium sulfite. The number of milimoles of potassium dichromate is 30×0.01=0.3 . The number of milimiles of sodium sulfite is 3×0.3=0.9 milimoles. The molarity of sodium sulfite is 0.920.0=0.045 M.
