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.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

[RxN - Unbalanced] Mg (s) + HCl (aq) → MgCl (aq) + H₂ (g)

↓

[RxN - Balanced] 2Mg (s) + 2HCl (aq) → 2MgCl (aq) + H₂ (g)

[Given] 3.25 mol Mg

[Solve] x g HCl

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

[RxN] 2 mol Mg → 2 mol HCl

[PT] Molar Mass of H - 1.01 g/mol

[PT] Molar Mass of Cl - 35.45 g/mol

Molar Mass of HCl - 1.01 + 35.45 = 36.46 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Stoich</u>

  1. [S - DA] Set up:                                                                                                 \displaystyle 3.25 \ mol \ Mg(\frac{2 \ mol \ HCl}{2 \ mol \ Mg})(\frac{36.46 \ g \ HCl}{1 \ mol \ HCl})
  2. [S - DA] Multiply/Divide [Cancel out units]:                                                    \displaystyle 127.61 \ g \ HCl

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 3 sig figs.</em>

127.61 g HCl ≈ 128 g HCl

fig. 15 shows a simplified diagram of the electrolysis of a molten electrolyte containing lithium chloride. b. Describe how the
melisa1 [442]

During the electrolysis of the molten lithium chloride, the Lithium ions (Li⁺) at the cathode undergoes reduction, and the electron configuration of lithium becomes 1s²2s¹.

<h3>What is electrolysis?</h3>

Electrolysis can be described as the process in which the electric current is passed through the chemical compound to break them.  In this process, the atoms and ions are interchanged by the addition or removal of electrons.

The ions are allowed to move freely in this process. When an ionic compound is melted or dissolved in water then ions are produced which can move freely.

During the electrolysis of molten lithium chloride, the lithium ions reach the cathode and accept the electrons while chloride ions reach at anode and loss electrons to become chlorine gas.

At anode :  2 Cl⁻ →    Cl₂ + 2e⁻

At cathode:   2 Li⁺   +   2e⁻  →  Li
