Fe 2+ +Cr 2 O 72−+H +
⟶Fe 3++Cr 3+ +H 2O
(1) Oxidation: Fe 2+
→Fe 3+
Reduction:
Cr+62 O 72−
⟶ C+3 r 3+
(2) Balancing the atoms
Fe 2+
⟶Fe 3+
Cr 2O 72−+14H +
⟶2Cr 3+ +7H 2 O
(3) Balance the charge
Fe 2+
⟶Fe 3+ +e −
⟶(1) Cr 2 O 72− +14H ++6e −
⟶2Cr 3++7H 2O⟶(2)
(4) Equation (1) ×6+ Equation (2) ×1 Balancing electrons.
6Fe 2+ +Cr 2 O 72−+14H + +6e −
⟶6Fe 3+ +2Cr 3+ +6e – +7H 2 O
(5) Simplifying;
6Fe 2+ +Cr 2 O 72− +14H
⟶6Fe 3+ +2Cr 3+ +7H 2 O
