Chapter 5, Problem 53RQ

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The balanced net ionic equation for the oxidation of ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}{\text{C}}_{\text{2}}{\text{O}}_{\text{4}}$ by ${\text{K}}_{\text{2}}{\text{Cr}}_{\text{2}}{\text{O}}_{\text{7}}$ in an acidic solution that gives ${\text{Cr}}^{3+}$ and ${\text{CO}}_{\text{2}}$ as products are to be written.

Concept Introduction:

A reaction that has an equal number of atoms in products as well as the reactants side, is known as a balanced chemical equation.

The number of moles of products and reactants are made the same in a balanced chemical equation.
