Solution
The correct option is BMolecular weight6 The reaction between Na2S2O3 and K2Cr2O7 occurs as follow: S2O2−3+Cr2O2−7→SO2−4+Cr3+ The oxidation state of chromium changes from +6 to +3. The net change in the oxidation number per formula unit is 6 or n-factor is 6. ∴Equivalent weight=Molecular weight6
