The current understanding of Cr(III)–Fe(III) hydroxide (Cr1–xFex(OH)3) oxidation in the dark is primarily focused on strong oxidants, yet the role of oxygen has generally been overlooked. Meanwhile, the effects of organic ligands on the Cr(III) oxidation are poorly known. Herein, we determined the kinetics of Cr1–xFex(OH)3 oxidation by oxygen in the dark as a function of pH and Fe/Cr 3. The sum of all the oxidation numbers must add up to the overall charge. Thus, in Na2Cr2O7, 2Na → +2, and 7O → -14. These add up to -12, so the 2Cr must be +12, and one Cr must be +6. In HCrO3-, H → +1 and 3O → -6. These add up to -5. Since the overall charge is 1-, the Cr is +4. So oxidation number of Cr changes from +6 to + 4. Step 1. Write an unbalanced equation. Step 2. Separate the process into half reactions. a) Assign oxidation numbers for each atom. b) Identify and write out all redox couples in reaction. c) Combine these redox couples into two half-reactions. Step 3. Balance the atoms in each half reaction. It can be anything, depending on the ligand environment. – Ivan Neretin. Apr 17, 2018 at 6:06. 2. [Cr (H2O)6] is a violet solution. Cr (OH)3 is a grey/green precipitate. [Cr (OH)6] is dark green solution. As Ivan said, it depends on the ligands etc. – user60221.
Step 4: Substitute Coefficients and Verify Result. Count the number of atoms of each element on each side of the equation and verify that all elements and electrons (if there are charges/ions) are balanced. 4 Cr (NO3)3 = 2 Cr2O3 + 12 NO2 + 3 O2. Reactants.
