Three litres of 0.5 M `K_(2)Cr_(2)O_(7)` soluton have to be completely reduced in th acidic medium. The number of faradays of electricity required will be.

Answer» 3L of 0.5 M `K_(2)Cr_(2)O_(7)` solution will contain `0.5xx3=1.5` moles of `K_(2)Cr_(2)O_(7)`. The reduction reaction is
`Cr_(2)O_(7)^(2-)+14H^(+)+6e^(-)toCr^(3+)+7H_(2)O` thus, 1 mole of `Cr_(2)O_(7)^(2-)` requires 6 F of electricity.
`therefore1.5` mole will require electricity=9F.
