Detailed Solution

It is given to find out the number of moles of K2Cr2O7 reduced by one mole of Sn2+ ion. 

Explanation

The balanced chemical processes (ionic reactions) for K2Cr2O7 reducing by Sn2+ are as follows:

Cr2O72-+14H++6e2Cr3++7H2O

(Sn2+Sn4++2e)×3

Balanced reaction 3Sn2++Cr2O72+14H+3Sn4++2Cr3++7H2O

As a result of the balanced reaction: 1 mole of Cr2O72will be decreased by 3 moles of Sn2+
Thus, one mole of Sn2+ will decrease to three moles of Cr2O72.

Hence, the correct option is  A)  13
