The balanced half-reaction: Cr²⁺⁺(aq) → Cr⁴⁺(aq) + 2e⁻.
Chromium(II) cations two electrons and became chromium(IV) cations.
<span>Oxidation reaction is increasing of oxidation number of element, because element or ion lost electrons in chemical reaction.
</span><span>Reduction is lowering oxidation number because element or ions gain electrons.</span>

Balance the following redox equation in acidic solution using the smallest integers possible and select the correct coefficient

romanna [79]

Answer:

Coefficient of $H^{+}(aq)$ is more than 4

Explanation:

Oxidation: $Sn^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow Sn^{4+}(aq)$

Balance charge: $Sn^{2+}(aq)-2e^{-}\rightarrow Sn^{4+}(aq)$ ......(1)

Reduction: $Cr_{2}O_{7}^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow Cr^{3+}(aq)$

Balance Cr: $Cr_{2}O_{7}^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow 2Cr^{3+}(aq)$
Balance O and H in acidic medium: $Cr_{2}O_{7}^{2-}(aq)+14H^{+}(aq)\rightarrow 2Cr^{3+}(aq)+7H_{2}O(l)$
Balance charge: $Cr_{2}O_{7}^{2-}(aq)+14H^{+}(aq)+6e^{-}\rightarrow 2Cr^{3+}(aq)+7H_{2}O(l)$ .......(2)

$[3\times Equation-(1)]+Equation(2)$ gives balanced equation:

$3Sn^{2+}(aq)+Cr_{2}O_{7}^{2-}(aq)+14H^{+}(aq)\rightarrow 3Sn^{4+}(aq)+2Cr^{3+}(aq)+7H_{2}O(l)$

So coefficient of $H^{+}(aq)$ is more than 4

Molecules that are optically active due to the tetrahedral arrangement of bonds around the carbon atom are often referred to as

morpeh [17]

<span>Answer:
Molecules that are optically active due to the tetrahedral arrangement of bonds around the carbon atom are often referred to as <u>Chiral Molecules</u>.

Explanation:
Chiral molecules have stereogenic centers. When plane polarized light is fall on these compounds they rotate the light either in clockwise or anti clockwise direction. The mirror images of chiral moleculecules are non-superimposable. Below few examples for molecules containing chiral centers are given.</span>
