Question Image
Oxidation half reaction $Cr (OH)_{3} \to {CrO}_{4}^{2 -}$
1) Balance the atoms other than H and O
$Cr (OH)_{3} \to {CrO}_{4}^{2 -}$
2) Balance of oxygen atoms
$Cr (OH)_{3} + H_{2} O \to {CrO}_{4}^{2 -}$
3) Balance of Hydrogen atoms
$Cr (OH)_{3} + H_{2} O + 5 {OH}^{-} \to {CrO}_{4}^{2 -} + 5 H_{2} O$
4) Balance of charges
$Cr (OH)_{3} + 5 {OH}^{-} + H_{2} O \to {CrO}_{4}^{2 -} + 5 H_{2} O + 3 e^{-} \dots (1)$
Reduction half reaction ${IO}_{3}^{-} \to I^{-}$
1) Balance the atoms other than H and O
${IO}_{3}^{-} \to I^{-}$
2) Balance of oxygen atoms
${IO}_{3}^{-} \to I^{-} + 3 H_{2} O$
3) Balance of Hydrogen atoms
${IO}_{3}^{-} + 6 H_{2} O \to I^{-} + 3 H_{2} O + 6 {OH}^{-}$
4) Balance of charges
${IO}_{3}^{-} + 6 H_{2} O + 6 e^{-} \to I^{-} + 6 {OH}^{-} + 3 H_{2} O \dots (2)$
$(1 \times 2)$
$2 Cr (OH)_{3} + 10 {OH}^{-} + 2 H_{2} O \to 2 {CrO}_{4}^{- 2} + 10 H_{2} O + 6 e^{-} . . . . . (3)$
${IO}_{3}^{-} + 6 H_{2} O + 6 e^{-} \to I^{-} + 6 {OH}^{-} + 3 H_{2} O . . . . . (4)$
eq(3) + eq(4)
$2 Cr (OH)_{3} + {IO}_{3}^{-} + 8 H_{2} + 4 {OH}^{-} \to 2 {CrO}_{4}^{- 2} + I^{-} + 13 H_{2} O$
Simplify the above equation
$2 Cr (OH)_{3} + {IO}_{3}^{-} + 4 {OH}^{-} \to 2 {CrO}_{4}^{2 -} + I^{-} + 5 H_{2} O$
