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^{-}

A student placed 15.5 g of glucose (C6H12O6) in a volumetric flask, added enough water to dissolve the glucose by swirling, then
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

There are 0.93 g of glucose in 100 mL of the final solution

Explanation:

In the first solution, the concentration of glucose (in g/L) is:

15.5 g / 0.100 L = 155 g/L

Then a 30.0 mL sample of this solution was taken and diluted to 0.500 L.

  • 30.0 mL equals 0.030 L (Because 30.0 mL ÷ 1000 = 0.030 L)

The concentration of the second solution is:

155 \frac{g}{L} *\frac{0.030L}{0.500L}=9.3\frac{g}{L}

So in 1 L of the second solution there are 9.3 g of glucose, in 100 mL (or 0.1 L) there would be:

1 L --------- 9.3 g

0.1 L--------- Xg

Xg = 9.3 g * 0.1 L / 1 L = 0.93 g

3. 200 ml of 0.2 M HCl is neutralized with 0.1 M
algol [13]

Answer:

  • <u><em>a. 0.1 M</em></u>

Explanation:

By definition, <em>half neutralization</em> is the point at which half of the acid has been neutralized.

The neutralization reaction that you are studying is the acid-base reaction:

  • HCl (aq) + NaOH (aq) → NaCl(aq) + H₂O (aq)

Then, since the starting molarity of the acid (HCl) is 0.2 M, you just need to find half of that concentration:

  • Half molarity = M / 2 = 0.2 M / 2 = 0.1 M

So, the answer is the first choice: a. 0.1 M.
