How many Faradays of charge are required to convert
1. 1 mole of Mno4 to Mn2+
2. 1 mole of Cr2O7 2- to Cr3+
Hi,
· The reaction can be represented as:
MnO4- → Mn2+
The oxidation number of Mn in MnO4- is +7 and it changes to +2
Hence the 5e- change has taken place, thus
Quantity of charge required=5F=5×96500=482500F
· The reaction can be represented as:
Cr2O72- → Cr3+
Change in 3e- charge
Quantity of Charge required =3F=3×96500=289500F
Hope it helps.
Cheers!
