You find the following balanced reaction, it has not been completed but you notice a mistake, what mistake was made?
Cr₂O7²- + H₂C2O4 → Cr³+ + CO2
Cr₂O7²- + 14H+ → Cr³+ + 7H₂O
H2C2O4 → 2CO₂ + 2H+
Cr₂O7²- + 14H+ + 9e → Cr³+ + 7H₂O
H₂C2O4 → 2CO₂ + 2H+ + 2e-
9H2C2O4 → 18CO2 + 18H+ + 18e-
2Cr₂O7²- + 18e +28H+ → 2Cr³+ + 14H₂O
2Cr2O7²- + 9H2C2O4 + 18e + 28H+ → 2Cr³+ + 14H₂O + 18CO₂ + 18H+ + 18e-
O a. Electrons were not calculated correctly
Ob. O or H- was not balanced correctly
O c. Multiplication was not done correctly
O d. Balancing was not done correctly
O e. Nothing is wrong
