Answer:

option D is the correct one

Explanation:

Let us first write the formula for finding the overall percentage of K in K2Cr207

The molar mass of the compound is= 294

Percentage of K in compound would be

= 39 x 2 / 294 x 100 = 26.53%

So if we are now given 12.5 grams of the compound then, using the same principle we see that

K = 26.53/100 x 12.5

K = 3.316 grams

Rounding it off

K = 3.32 g

Hence among the fout options given, option D is the correct one
