![**Balancing Redox Reactions in Acidic Solutions**
This interactive tool allows students to practice balancing redox reactions in acidic solutions. The given reaction to balance is:
\[ \text{H}_2\text{O} (\text{aq}) + \text{Cr}_2\text{O}_7^{2-} (\text{aq}) \rightarrow \text{O}_2 (\text{g}) + \text{Cr}^{3+} (\text{aq}) \]
### Interface Features:
- **Input Panel:** Contains buttons for chemical species and numbers. These can be selected to enter into the equation to balance it.
- **Chemical Species Buttons:** Include \(\text{OH}^-\), \(\text{O}\), \(\text{H}^+\), \(\text{Cr}^{3+}\), \(\text{H}_3\text{O}^+\), etc.
- **Numerical Buttons:** Numbers 0-9 help in balancing coefficients.
- **Action Buttons:**
- **Reset:** Clears the current inputs, allowing users to start over.
- **Submit:** Evaluates the entered equation to check if it is balanced.
- **Display Area:** On the right, it shows the reaction that needs balancing.
### Instructions:
1. **Select** the appropriate chemical species and numbers from the input panel to balance the redox reaction.
2. **Adjust** each side of the equation until both mass and charge are balanced.
3. **Click Submit** to check your answer.
This exercise is designed to enhance understanding of redox reactions and improve equation-balancing skills essential for chemistry students.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F6895f9cd-8521-4c9a-bc62-df11c4ac3cae%2F07180461-71aa-4b16-9608-24b255a85432%2Fmem1va_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
