The oxidation state of chromium in the final product formed by the reaction between KI and acidified potassium dichromate solution is
  1. +3
  2. +2
  3. +6
  4. +4

Solution

In acidic medium Cr2O7-2 reduced inCr+3  and I- oxidise in I2.

Cr2O72-+14H++6I-2Cr3++7H2O+3I2

Cr2O72-is reduced toCr3+.

Thus, final state of Cr is +3
