Correct answer: B

  1. We need the reduction half-reaction of dichromate ion in acidic medium.

  2. In acidic medium, Cr2O72−\mathrm{Cr}_2\mathrm{O}_7^{2-}Cr2​O72−​ is reduced to Cr3+\mathrm{Cr}^{3+}Cr3+.

    Start with: Cr2O72−→2Cr3+\mathrm{Cr}_2\mathrm{O}_7^{2-} \rightarrow 2\mathrm{Cr}^{3+}Cr2​O72−​→2Cr3+

  3. Balance oxygen by adding water:

    There are 777 oxygen atoms on the left, so add 7H2O7\mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{O}7H2​O on the right: Cr2O72−→2Cr3++7H2O\mathrm{Cr}_2\mathrm{O}_7^{2-} \rightarrow 2\mathrm{Cr}^{3+} + 7\mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{O}Cr2​O72−​→2Cr3++7H2​O

  4. Balance hydrogen by adding H+\mathrm{H}^+H+:

    Right side has 7H2O7\mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{O}7H2​O, i.e. 141414 H atoms, so add 14H+14\mathrm{H}^+14H+ to the left: Cr2O72−+14H+→2Cr3++7H2O\mathrm{Cr}_2\mathrm{O}_7^{2-} + 14\mathrm{H}^+ \rightarrow 2\mathrm{Cr}^{3+} + 7\mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{O}Cr2​O72−​+14H+→2Cr3++7H2​O

  5. Balance charge by adding electrons:

    • Left side charge =−2+14=+12= -2 + 14 = +12=−2+14=+12
    • Right side charge =2×(+3)=+6= 2 \times (+3) = +6=2×(+3)=+6

    To reduce left-side charge from +12+12+12 to +6+6+6, add 6e−6e^-6e− to the left: Cr2O72−+14H++6e−→2Cr3++7H2O\mathrm{Cr}_2\mathrm{O}_7^{2-} + 14\mathrm{H}^+ + 6e^- \rightarrow 2\mathrm{Cr}^{3+} + 7\mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{O}Cr2​O72−​+14H++6e−→2Cr3++7H2​O

  6. Comparing with Cr2O72−+XH++Ye⊖→2A+ZH2O\mathrm{Cr}_2\mathrm{O}_7^{2-}+X\mathrm{H}^{+}+Ye^{\ominus} \rightarrow 2A+Z\mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{O}Cr2​O72−​+XH++Ye⊖→2A+ZH2​O we get:

    • X=14X = 14X=14
    • Y=6Y = 6Y=6
    • Z=7Z = 7Z=7
    • A=Cr3+A = \mathrm{Cr}^{3+}A=Cr3+
  7. Hence the correct option is: B: 14,6,7 and Cr3+\boxed{\text{B: } 14,6,7 \text{ and } \mathrm{Cr}^{3+}}B: 14,6,7 and Cr3+​
