Question

Statement 1: $CrO_{5}$ on decomposition undergoes dispro- portionation.
Statement 2: $CrO_{5}$ undergoes intermolecular redox reaction.

• A. If both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true and the statement 2 is the correct explanation of the statement 1.
• B. Ifboth Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true but statement 2 is not the correct explanation of the statement 1.
• C. If Statement 1 is true but Statement 2 is false.
• D. If Statement 1 is false but Statement 2 is true.

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$CrO_{5} \xrightarrow{\Delta} CrO_{3} +O_{2}$(Disproportionation of $O^{-}$)
