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 \[\ce{Cr2O^{2-}_7}\].
