How many moles of dichromate ion will be required to oxidize one mole of \(Fe^{2+}\) to \(Fe^{3+}\) ions in acidic solution?

  1. A 3
  2. B 6
  3. C 1/3
  4. D \(1 / 6\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(1 / 6\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(Cr_2O_7^{2-} + 14H^{+} + 6e^{-} \rightarrow 2Cr^{3+} + 7H_2O\) \(Fe^{2+} \rightarrow Fe^{3+} + e^{-}\) Moles of \(Cr_2O_7^{2-}\) per mole of \(Fe^{2+}\) = \(1 \, \text{mole} \, Cr_2O_7^{2-} / 6 \, \text{moles} \, Fe^{2+} = 1/6\)
