Solution
The correct option is C0,39.4 When K2Cr2O7 reacts with H2O2, a blue colored compound is formed which is CrO5.
The oxidation number of Cr in CrO5 is +6, because four of oxygen atoms are involved in peroxide linkage.
So, change in oxidation state from K2Cr2O7 to CrO5 is 0.
The percentage of chromium in the complex is 52132×100=39.4%.
