Complete the following chemical reaction
Na2Cr207 + KCI →
Answers
Answer:
Na2Cr2O7 + 2KCl ---------> K2 Cr2O7 + 2
Answer:
here acidic medium / basic medium must be mentioned
Explanation:
na2cr2o7+kcl = cr+3 + cl2
if acidic medium
suppose h2so4
then the reaction will be
na2cr2o7+kcl + h2so4 = na2so4+k2so4+cr+3 +cl2
here the only possibility is acidic medium because k2cr2o7 acts as oxidizing acid only when acidic medium is mentioned
if you want balance reaction you can balance out
by adding valency factor method
first find valency factors of na2cr2o7 and kcl
valency factor = index of atom * change in oxidation state
=2(3)
=6
valency factor of na2cr2o7 = 6
valency factor of kcl = 1
now multiply the valency factor of one with other
it becomes like this
na2cr2o7+6kcl +h2so4 = na2so4+k2so4+cr+3 +cl2
now apply ooc method
o means other than oxygen atom
so balance other than oxygen
na2cr2o7+6kcl+h2so4=na2so4+3k2so4+2cr+3 + 3cl2
now balance oxygen as other atoms are balanced
na2cr2o7+6kcl+5h2so4=na2so4+3k2so4+2cr+3 +3cl2
now balance oxygen
na2cr2o7+6kcl+5h2so4=na2so4+3k2so4+2cr+3 +3cl2 + 11h2o
now balance hydrogen
na2cr2o7+6kcl+5h2so4 +12h+ = na2so4+3k2so4+2cr+3+3cl2+11h2o
balance charge by adding e
na2cr2o7+6kcl+5h2so4+12h+ +9e=na2so4+3k2so4+2cr+3+3cl2+11h2o
