Question

Consider the reaction:

\[\ce{Cr2O^{2-}_7 + 14H+ + 6e- -> 2Cr^{3+} + 7H2O}\]

What is the quantity of electricity in coulombs needed to reduce 1 mol of  \[\ce{Cr2O^{2-}_7}\]?

Solution

According to the given reaction,

\[\ce{Cr2O^{2-}_7}\] One mole of ions requires 6 moles of electrons.

∴ F = 6 × 96500 C

= 579000 C

∴ The 579000 C of electricity is required to reduce 1 mol of \[\ce{Cr2O^{2-}_7}\].
