JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2025 - 3rd April Evening Shift - No. 10)
Given below are two statements:
Statement I : $\mathrm{CrO}_3$ is a stronger oxidizing agent than $\mathrm{MoO}_3$
Statement II : $\mathrm{Cr}(\mathrm{VI})$ is more stable than $\mathrm{Mo}(\mathrm{VI})$
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below
Statement I is true but Statement II is false
Both Statement I and Statement II are true
Both Statement I and Statement II are false
Statement I is false but Statement II is true
Explanation
Statement I is true while Statement II is false.
Cr(VI) is less stable than Mo(VI). Consequently, CrO₃ more readily reduces to Cr³⁺ compared to MoO₃, exhibiting a stronger oxidizing nature.
