(a) Both chromium metal ions are paramagnetic with 3 unpaired electrons. (b) oct for [Cr(NH 3) 6] 3+ is calculated directly from the energy of yellow light. (c) oct for [Cr(OH 2) 6] 3+ is less than oct for [Cr(NH 3) 6] 3+. (d) A solution of [Cr(OH 2) 6]Cl 3 transmits light with an approximate wavelength range of 4000 - 4200 angstroms.Identify the products and the reactants, and then their oxidation numbers. Check to see if the oxidation numbers show oxidation or reduction. Oxidation = number goes down. Reduction = number goes up. Given the reaction. 5Fe2+ + 8H+ + MnO4− → 5Fe3+ +Mn2+ + 4H2O. decide if MnO4-, Fe2+, and H+ are oxidizing agents, reducing agents, or neither. ON Mn = − 1 + 8 = +7. In the permanganate anion, manganese has a (+7) oxidation state. manganese (III) oxide, Mn2O3. The same strategy applies, only this time you're dealing with a neutral compound, which means that the oxydation numbers of all the atoms must add up to give zero.
Chromium (II) oxide (CrO) is an inorganic compound composed of chromium and oxygen. [1] It is a black powder that crystallises in the rock salt structure. [2] Hypophosphites may reduce chromium (III) oxide to chromium (II) oxide: H 3 PO 2 + 2 Cr 2 O 3 → 4 CrO + H 3 PO 4. It is readily oxidized by the atmosphere.
[oxidation state of Cr is +6 in Cr 2 O 7 -2 but is +3 in Cr 3+, therefore we have to add 3e- to left side to balance out the oxidation states. This gives; Cr 2 O 7-2 + 3e- _____ > Cr 3+ [oxidation charges are balanced but materials (number of Cr) are not balanced. Therefore, we must multiply right side by 2 to balance out Cr..
