  1. a. Cr => +6 and O = -2

    b. Cl goes from -1 to 0 and it is oxidized

    c.

    Cr2O72-  + 14 H+  ++ 6e->> 2 Cr3+ + 7H2O

    2Cl- >> Cl2 + 2e-

    Cr2O72- + 14 H+ + 6 Cl- >> 2 Cr3+ + 3 Cl2 + 7H2O ( acidic solution)

    d.

    Cr2O72- + 7H2O + 6Cl- >> 2 Cr3+ + 3Cl2 + 14 OH- ( basic solution)

    e.moles Cr2O72- = 0.03412 x 0.2= 0.006824

    moles Cl- = 6 x 0.006824 = 0.04094

    M = 0.04094 / 0.02415 L =  1.70 M
