Solution
The correct option is A more by K2CrO7 Cr changes from +6 to +3 oxidation state on reduction. But there are two Cr atoms per molecule, net change is 2×3=6.
Mn changes from +7 to +2 on reduction. So, change is 5.
Hence, for equal molar and volume solutions of K2CrO7 and KMnO4, more oxidation occurs from K2CrO7.
