Correct answer: B
-
We need the reduction half-reaction of dichromate ion in acidic medium.
-
In acidic medium, is reduced to .
Start with:
-
Balance oxygen by adding water:
There are oxygen atoms on the left, so add on the right:
-
Balance hydrogen by adding :
Right side has , i.e. H atoms, so add to the left:
-
Balance charge by adding electrons:
- Left side charge
- Right side charge
To reduce left-side charge from to , add to the left:
-
Comparing with we get:
-
Hence the correct option is:
