The reaction : `Cr_2O_7^(2-) +H_2OhArr 2CrO_4^(2-) +2H^(+)` cannot be regarded as a redox reaction . True or False

Explanation

To determine whether the reaction \( \text{Cr}_2\text{O}_7^{2-} + \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow 2\text{CrO}_4^{2-} + 2\text{H}^{+} \) can be regarded as a redox reaction, we need to analyze the oxidation states of chromium in the reactants and products.

### Step 1: Identify the oxidation states of chromium in the reactants.
- In the dichromate ion \( \text{Cr}_2\text{O}_7^{2-} \):
- Let the oxidation state of chromium be \( x \).
- The oxidation state of oxygen is typically \( -2 \).
- The overall charge of the ion is \( -2 \).
