Question

Complete the balanced dissociation equation for the compound below. If the compound does not dissociate, write NR after the reaction arrow.
K2Cr2O7(s) â

Answer 1

Answer:

K₂Cr₂O₇(s) ⇒ 2 K⁺(aq) + Cr₂O₇²⁻(aq)

Explanation:

Potassium dichromate (K₂Cr₂O₇) is a strong electrolyte, that is, when dissolved in water (the medium), it dissociates in cation potassium (K⁺) and anion dichromate (Cr₂O₇²⁻). The balanced dissociation equation is:

K₂Cr₂O₇(s) ⇒ 2 K⁺(aq) + Cr₂O₇²⁻(aq)
