Asample of a chromium-containing alloy weighing 3.450 g was dissolved in acid, and all the chromium in the sample was oxidized to 2cro42–. it was then found that 3.18 g of na2so3 was required to reduce the 2cro42– to cro2– in a basic solution, with the so32– being oxidized to so42–. write a balanced equation for the reaction of 2cro42– with so32- in a basic solution.

Reduction half reaction

2H_2O + CrO_4^2- + 3e -> CrO_2^- + 4OH^-

Oxidation half reaction

2OH^- + SO_3^2- -> SO_4^2- + H_2O + 2e

Balanced overall equation

H_2O + 2CrO_4^2- + 3SO_3^2- -> 3SO_3^2- + 2CrO_2^- + 2OH^-

its first and third is your answer i did the qustion the fourth isnt right

< > according to newton's third law of motion, forces always act in equal but opposite pairs. another way of saying this is for every action, there is an equal but opposite reaction.< >
