The equation is as follow,

                                          Cr₂O₇²⁻    →    Cr³⁺

Balance the Cr atoms,
                                          Cr₂O₇²⁻    →    2 Cr³⁺

Identify Oxidation Number of Elements on Both sides,

Left Hand Side;
                          Cr  =  +6
                           O  =  -2
Right Hand Side;
                          Cr  =  +3
                           O  =  -2

Means each Cr is gaining 3 electrons to change into +3 state, Hence, 6 electrons are gained by two Cr atoms, So,

                                       Cr₂O₇²⁻  +  6e⁻    →    2 Cr³⁺

Balance Oxygen atoms, as it is acidic medium, add H⁺ ion on the side containing large number of Oxygen atoms and H₂O on side containing less number of Oxygen atoms, So,

                                 H⁺  +  Cr₂O₇²⁻  +  6e⁻    →    2 Cr³⁺  +  H₂O

Now Balance H and O,

                          14 H⁺  +  Cr₂O₇²⁻  +  6e⁻    →    2 Cr³⁺  +  7 H₂O

6 electrons are transferred in this reaction.

Which of the following statement is FALSE? a. Lowering the free energy of the transition state can increase a reaction rate. b.
ryzh [129]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Activation energy or free energy of a transition state is defined as the  minimum amount of energy required to by reactant molecules to undergo a chemical reaction.

So, when activation energy is decreased then molecules with lesser amount of energy can also participate in the reaction. This leads to an increase in rate of reaction.  

Also, increase in temperature will help in increasing the rate of reaction.

Whereas at a given temperature, every molecule will have different energy because every molecule travels at different speed.

Hence, we can conclude that out of the given options false statement is that at a given temperature and time all molecules in a solution or a sample will have the same energy.
