Question

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

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

∴ 579000 C of electricity will be required for the reduction of Cr3+.
