Solution

The correct options are
A The number of moles of Cr2O27 required to oxidise 6 mol of Cu3P to CuSO4 and H3PO4 is 11 mol
B The number of moles of H2SO4 used in the reaction is 62
C The number of moles of Cr2(SO4)3 formed in the reaction is 11
D The number of moles of K2SO4 formed in the reaction is 11
i. In (+×3Cu3P3),
Cu1+33Cu2++3e(oxidation)
P3x=3H3PO43+x8=0x=5+8e (oxidation)
___________________________________________
4H2O+Cu3P3Cu2++H3PO4+11e+5H ......(i)
___________________________________________
Reduction:
Cr2O27+6e+14H2Cr3++7H2O ...(ii)
Multiply equation (i) by 6 and equation (ii) by 11, net redox equation is given below:
6Cu3P6mol+11Cr2O2711mol+124H

18Cu2++6H3PO4+22Cr3++53H2O
ii. Number of moles of H2SO4 used =62H2SO4(=124H=62SO24)

Number of moles of CuSO4 formed =18CuSO4 (=18SO24)

Number of moles of Cr2(SO4)3 formed =11Cr2(SO4)3 (=33SO24)
Total number of SO24 ion in reactant =62
Total number of SO24 ion in product=18+33=51
Rest 11 mol of SO24 ion in the reactant react with 11/2 mol of K ion to give 11 mol of K2SO4.
Net redox reaction is as follows:
6Cu3P+11K2Cr2O7+62H2SO418CuSO4+6H3PO4+53H2O+11Cr2(SO4)3+11K2SO4
Hence, options A,B,C & D are correct.
