Correct answer: 18

  1. Identify compound (A)

When NaCl\mathrm{NaCl}NaCl is heated with K2Cr2O7\mathrm{K_2Cr_2O_7}K2​Cr2​O7​ and concentrated H2SO4\mathrm{H_2SO_4}H2​SO4​, chromyl chloride is formed:

4NaCl+K2Cr2O7+6H2SO4→2CrO2Cl2+2KHSO4+4NaHSO4+3H2O4NaCl + K_2Cr_2O_7 + 6H_2SO_4 \rightarrow 2CrO_2Cl_2 + 2KHSO_4 + 4NaHSO_4 + 3H_2O4NaCl+K2​Cr2​O7​+6H2​SO4​→2CrO2​Cl2​+2KHSO4​+4NaHSO4​+3H2​O

So,

A=CrO2Cl2A = CrO_2Cl_2A=CrO2​Cl2​

Number of atoms in one molecule of AAA:

1(Cr)+2(O)+2(Cl)=51(\mathrm{Cr}) + 2(\mathrm{O}) + 2(\mathrm{Cl}) = 51(Cr)+2(O)+2(Cl)=5


  1. Identify compound (B)

Chromyl chloride reacts with NaOH\mathrm{NaOH}NaOH to give sodium chromate:

CrO2Cl2+8NaOH→Na2CrO4+2NaCl+4H2OCrO_2Cl_2 + 8NaOH \rightarrow Na_2CrO_4 + 2NaCl + 4H_2OCrO2​Cl2​+8NaOH→Na2​CrO4​+2NaCl+4H2​O

So,

B=Na2CrO4B = Na_2CrO_4B=Na2​CrO4​

Number of atoms in one formula unit of BBB:

2(Na)+1(Cr)+4(O)=72(\mathrm{Na}) + 1(\mathrm{Cr}) + 4(\mathrm{O}) = 72(Na)+1(Cr)+4(O)=7


  1. Identify compound (C)

Acidification of chromate with dilute H2SO4\mathrm{H_2SO_4}H2​SO4​ in presence of H2O2\mathrm{H_2O_2}H2​O2​ gives blue peroxo compound CrO5\mathrm{CrO_5}CrO5​:

Na2CrO4+H2SO4+H2O2→CrO5+side productsNa_2CrO_4 + H_2SO_4 + H_2O_2 \rightarrow CrO_5 + \text{side products}Na2​CrO4​+H2​SO4​+H2​O2​→CrO5​+side products

So,

C=CrO5C = CrO_5C=CrO5​

Number of atoms in one molecule of CCC:

1(Cr)+5(O)=61(\mathrm{Cr}) + 5(\mathrm{O}) = 61(Cr)+5(O)=6


  1. Total number of atoms

Total=5+7+6=18\text{Total} = 5 + 7 + 6 = 18Total=5+7+6=18


  1. Comparison with stored correct answer

Derived answer = 181818

Stored correct answer = 181818

They match.
