Answer:

6Fe^2+(aq) -------> 6Fe^3+(aq) + 6e

Explanation:

The balanced oxidation half equation is;

6Fe^2+(aq) -------> 6Fe^3+(aq) + 6e

A redox reaction is actually an acronym for oxidation-reducation reaction. Since the both reactions are complementary, there can't be oxidation without reduction and there can't be reduction without oxidation.

The main characteristic of redox reactions is that electrons are transferred in the process. The number of electrons transferred is usually deduced from the balanced reaction equation. For this reaction, the balanced overall reaction equation is;

Cr2O7^2–(aq) + 6Fe^2+(aq) +14H^+(aq)→ 2Cr^3+(aq) + 6Fe^3+ (aq) + 7H2O(l)

It is clear from the equation above that six electrons were transferred. Thus six Fe^2+ ions lost one electron each in the oxidation half equation as shown in the balanced oxidation half equation above.

Answer:

Mass of Ca in sample, Mass of Br in sample, Number of moles of Ca in sample, Number of moles of Br in sample, Mass or moles of element other than Ca or Br in sample

Explanation:

The AP Classroom will not count your answer to this question as correct unless it includes at least one of the answers listed above. If you say that theanswer to this question is density, it will be marked as incorrect, I found that out the hard way when I used the answers that brainly gave me.

Good luck,

I applaud you for using the sources avalible to you, which is /definetly not/ cheeting.
