A battery is constructed of Cr and Na ₂ Cr ₂ O ₇ . The unbalanced chemical equation when such a battery discharges is following: Na ₂ Cr ₂ O ₇+ Cr + H ⁺ Cr ³⁺+ H ₂ O + Na ⁺ If one Faraday of electricity is passed through the battery during the charging, the number of moles of Cr ³⁺ removed from the solution is
Options
- A4 3
- B1 3
- C3 3
- D2 3
Correct answer
C. 3 3
Step-by-step solution
Reduction half reaction : Cr ₂ O ₇²⁻+6 e⁻+14 H ⁺ 2 Cr ³⁺+7 H ₂ O Oxidation half reaction : Cr Cr ³⁺+3 e⁻ Overall reaction : aligned & Cr ₂ O ₇²⁻+ Cr +14 H ⁺+3 e⁻ & 3 Cr ³⁺+7 H ₂ O aligned 3 ~F of electricity =3 moles of Cr ³⁺1 ~F of electricity = 3 3 moles of Cr ³⁺
