Answer: true

Explanation:

In chemical reactions, an energy barrier exists between reactants and products. The magnitude of this energy barrier determines the rate of reaction. A lesser energy barrier implies that reactants are converted to products faster since the energy required is not too much. On the other hand, a large energy difference between reactants and products will lead to a slow reaction with very poor yield of products if any.

Answer:

$\% Fe^{+2}=70%$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we could considering this as a redox titration:

$Fe^{+2}+(Cr_2O_7)^{-2}\rightarrow Fe^{+3}+Cr^{+3}$

Thus, the balance turns out (by adding both hydrogen ions and water):

$Fe^{+2}\rightarrow Fe^{+3}+1e^-\\(Cr_2^{+6}O_7)^{-2}+14H^++6e^-\rightarrow 2Cr^{+3}+7H_2O\\\\6Fe^{+2}+(Cr_2^{+6}O_7)^{-2}+14H^++6e^-\rightarrow Cr^{+3}+7H_2O+6Fe^{+3}+6e^-$
