• A. $C{r}_2{O}_7^{2-}+14H^{+}+6F{e}^{2+}\to 6F{e}^{3+}+2C{r}^{3+}+7H_{2}O$
• B. $2K^{+}+C{r}_2{O}_7^{2-}+7S{O}_4^{2-}+6F{e}^{2+}\to 3F{e}^{3+}+S{O}_4^{2-}+C{r}^{3+}+K^{+}+7H_{2}O$
• C. $C{r}_2{O}_7^{2-}+2^{K+}+7H^{+}+6F{e}^{2+}\to 6F{e}^{3+}+6C{r}^{3+}+K^{+}$
• D. $C{r}_2{O}^{2-}+7H^{+}+6F{e}^{2+}\to 3F{e}^{2+}+2C{r}^{3+}+2K^{+}+7H_{2}O$

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

$K_{2}C{r}_2{O}_2+7H_{2}S{O}_4+6FeS{O}_4\to$
$3F{e}_2{\left(S{O}_4\right)}_3+C{r}_2{\left(S{O}_4\right)}_3+7H_{2}O+K_{2}S{O}_4$
In ionic form :
$2K^{+}+C{r}_2{O}_7^{2-}+14H^{+}+7S{O}_4^{2-}+6F{e}^{2+}+6S{O}_4^{2-}\to$
$6F{e}^{3+}+9S{O}_4^{2-}+2C{r}^{3+}+3S{O}_4^{2-}+2K^{+}+S{O}^{2-}+7H_{2}O$
Eliminating the com m on species:
$C{r}_2{O}_7^{2-}+14H^{+}+6F{e}^{2+}\to 6F{e}^{3+}+2C{r}^{3+}+7H_{2}O$
