Half reaction: Cr₂O₇²⁻(aq) + 7H₂O(l) + 6e⁻ → 2Cr³⁺(aq) + 14OH⁻(aq).
Chromium change oxidation number from +6 in dichromate ion Cr₂O₇²⁻ to +3 in chromium cation.
Sum of the charges on the left side of the half reaction is -2 and on the left side is -8 (2·(+3) +14·(-1)), so six electrons must be added on the left side of half reaction.

Explanation:

When electrons are added in a reaction then it means reduction is taking place. Whereas removal of electrons from a chemical reaction is known as oxidation.  

Oxidation state of chromium in Cr_{2}O^{2-}_{7} is +6. So, its reduction half-reaction will be as follows.

         Cr_{2}O_{7}^{2-} + 3e^{-1} \rightarrow Cr^{3+}

Since it is given that reaction is taking place in basic solution. So, we add H_{2}O on reactant side and OH^{-} on the product side.

        Cr_{2}O_{7}^{2-} + 3e^{-1} + H_{2}O \rightarrow Cr^{3+} + OH^{-}

Now balancing Cr atom and charges on both sides, we get the following.

       Cr_{2}O_{7}^{2-} + 6e^{-1} + 7H_{2}O \rightarrow 2Cr^{3+} + 14OH^{-}

An ionic compound has a slightly negative heat of solution in water. would you expect it to be soluble or insoluble in water?
Grace [21]
The ionic compound will be soluble in water. 
The value of the heat of solution of a substance is one of the factors that determine whether a substance will dissolve or not. A negative heat of solution signifies that the reaction will be spontaneous, so the ionic compound will dissolve in water.

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

Put it on a ship or an aerogel

Explanation:

You can use an aerogel, a synthetic porous ultralight material. The aerogel can  support a mass many times greater than their own.

Even simpler, you can put the object on board a ship. The ship has a smaller density than water, making it float in water.
