How many electrons are involved in the following redox reaction? \(C{r_2}O_7^{2 - } + F{e^{2 + }} + {C_2}O_4^{2 - } \to C{r^{3 + }} + F{e^{3 + }} + C{O_2}\) (Unbalanced)

  1. A \(3\)
  2. B \(4\)
  3. C \(6\)
  4. D \(5\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(6\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Oxidation state of Cr in \(C{r_2}O_7^{2-}\): \(+6\) Oxidation state of Cr in \(C{r^{3+}}\): \(+3\) Electrons gained by Cr per mole of \(C{r_2}O_7^{2-}\): \(2 \times (+6 - +3) = 6e^-\) Oxidation state of Fe in \(F{e^{2+}}\): \(+2\) Oxidation state of Fe in \(F{e^{3+}}\): \(+3\)…
