$\text{NaCl} + \text{K}_2\text{Cr}_2\text{O}_7 + \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \rightarrow \text{A} + \text{KHSO}_4 + \text{NaHSO}_4 + \text{H}_2\text{O}$
$\text{A} + \text{NaOH} \rightarrow \text{B} + \text{NaCl} + \text{H}_2\text{O}$
$\text{B} + \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 + \text{H}_2\text{O}_2 \rightarrow \text{C} + \text{Na}_2\text{SO}_4 + \text{H}_2\text{O}$
In the product 'C', 'X' is the number of $\text{O}_2^{2-}$ units, 'Y' is the total number oxygen atoms present and 'Z' is the oxidation state of Cr. The value of X + Y + Z is ____________.
The first reaction describes the synthesis of chromyl chloride ($\text{CrO}_2\text{Cl}_2$), which is known for its characteristic red vapours, from sodium chloride ($\text{NaCl}$), potassium dichromate ($\text{K}_2\text{Cr}_2\text{O}_7$), and sulfuric acid ($\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4$).
The balanced reaction is:
$ 4\text{NaCl} + \text{K}_2\text{Cr}_2\text{O}_7 + 6\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \rightarrow 2\text{CrO}_2\text{Cl}_2 \uparrow + 2\text{KHSO}_4 + 4\text{NaHSO}_4 + 3\text{H}_2\text{O} $
Therefore, product 'A' is $\text{CrO}_2\text{Cl}_2$.
Product 'A', chromyl chloride ($\text{CrO}_2\text{Cl}_2$), reacts with sodium hydroxide ($\text{NaOH}$). This reaction yields sodium chromate ($\text{Na}_2\text{CrO}_4$) along with sodium chloride ($\text{NaCl}$) and water ($\text{H}_2\text{O}$).
The balanced reaction is:
$ \text{CrO}_2\text{Cl}_2 + 4\text{NaOH} \rightarrow \text{Na}_2\text{CrO}_4 + 2\text{NaCl} + 2\text{H}_2\text{O} $
Thus, product 'B' is $\text{Na}_2\text{CrO}_4$ (sodium chromate).
In the third reaction, sodium chromate ($\text{B}$) reacts with sulfuric acid ($\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4$) and hydrogen peroxide ($\text{H}_2\text{O}_2$) to form product 'C'. This is a standard method for forming perchromate species.
The relevant reaction forming the perchromate ion ($\text{CrO}_5^{2-}$) is:
$ \text{CrO}_4^{2-} + \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 + \text{H}_2\text{O}_2 \rightarrow \text{CrO}_5^{2-} + \text{SO}_4^{2-} + 2\text{H}_2\text{O} $
Product 'C' is the perchromate ion ($\text{CrO}_5^{2-}$).
We need to determine X, Y, and Z for 'C':
The question asks for the value of X + Y + Z. Using the values determined above:
$ X + Y + Z = 2 + 5 + 6 $
$ X + Y + Z = 13 $
