Question

Key: These problems are for practice in applying problem solving skills. They are divided by topic, and some are keyed to exercises (see the ends of the exercises). The problems are arranged in matching pairs; the odd-numbered problem each pair is listed first, and its answer is given in the back of the book.

Explanation / Answer

Q19.35

For your request,

a)

CrO7-2 + C2O4-2 = Cr+3 + CO2

split metal and Carbon:

CrO7-2 = Cr+3

C2O4-2 = CO2

balance C

CrO7-2 = Cr+3

C2O4-2 = 2CO2

balance O, adding H2O

CrO7-2 = Cr+3 + 7H2O

C2O4-2 = 2CO2

balance H by adding H+

14H+ + CrO7-2 = Cr+3 + 7H2O

C2O4-2 = 2CO2

balance charges adding e-

9e- + 14H+ + CrO7-2 = Cr+3 + 7H2O

C2O4-2 = 2CO2 + 2e-

balane -e

18e- + 28H+ + 2CrO7-2 = 2Cr+3 + 14H2O

9C2O4-2 = 18CO2 + 18e-

add all

9C2O4-2 + 18e- + 28H+ + 2CrO7-2 = 2Cr+3 + 14H2O + 18CO2 + 18e-

cancel common terms

9C2O4-2 +28H+ + 2CrO7-2 = 2Cr+3 + 14H2O + 18CO2

this is now bnalanced in acidic conditions
