Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Skeleton equation is
`Cr_(2)O_(7)^(-)+SO_(3)^(2-) rarr Cr^(3+)+SO_(4)^(2-)`

`Cr_(2)O_(7)^(2-)+3SO_(3)^(2-) rarr 2Cr^(3+)+3SO_(4)^(2-)`
`Cr_(2)O_(7)^(2-)+3SO_(3)^(2-) rarr 2Cr^(3+)+3SO_(4)^(2-)+4H_(2)O`
`Cr_(2)O_(7)^(2-)+3SO_(3)^(2-)+8H^(+) rarr 2Cr^(3+)+3SO_(4)^(2-)+4H_(2)O`
