Question 1

Given the half-reaction Cr₂O₇²⁻ + 14H⁺ + 6e⁻ → 2Cr³⁺ + 7H₂O, determine oxidation states of chromium and oxygen.

💡 Hint: Remember to consider the overall charge balance in the ion.

Question 2

Combine the two half-reactions: C₂O₄²⁻ → 2CO₂ + 2e⁻ and MnO₄⁻ + 8H⁺ + 5e⁻ → Mn²⁺ + 4H₂O. What is the overall balanced reaction?

💡 Hint: Make sure to equalize the number of electrons transferred in each half-reaction.
