The correct Answer is:
To solve the given chemical reaction and find the values of \( x \), \( y \), and \( z \) in the equation: \[ K_2Cr_2O_7 + xH_2SO_4 + ySO_2 \rightarrow K_2SO_4 + Cr_2(SO_4)_3 + zH_2O \] we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify Oxidation States - In \( K_2Cr_2O_7 \), the oxidation state of chromium (Cr) is +6. - In \( Cr_2(SO_4)_3 \), the oxidation state of chromium is +3. - In \( SO_2 \), the oxidation state of sulfur (S) is +4. - In \( K_2SO_4 \), the oxidation state of sulfur is +6. ### Step 2: Determine Changes in Oxidation States - The change for chromium from +6 to +3 indicates a reduction of 3 for each chromium atom. Since there are 2 chromium atoms, the total change is \( 2 \times 3 = 6 \) electrons gained. - The change for sulfur from +4 in \( SO_2 \) to +6 in \( K_2SO_4 \) indicates an oxidation of 2 electrons for each sulfur atom. ### Step 3: Balance the Electrons - To balance the electrons, we need to ensure that the total number of electrons lost equals the total number of electrons gained. Since 3 moles of \( SO_2 \) will provide \( 3 \times 2 = 6 \) electrons, we can write: \[ \text{Reduction: } Cr_2O_7^{2-} + 6e^- \rightarrow 2Cr^{3+} \] \[ \text{Oxidation: } 3SO_2 \rightarrow 3SO_4^{2-} + 6e^- \] ### Step 4: Write the Balanced Reaction - The balanced half-reactions can be combined: \[ Cr_2O_7^{2-} + 3SO_2 \rightarrow 2Cr^{3+} + 3SO_4^{2-} \] ### Step 5: Include Other Components - Now we need to include \( K_2SO_4 \) and \( H_2O \) in the balanced equation. The complete reaction is: \[ K_2Cr_2O_7 + 3SO_2 + 2H_2SO_4 \rightarrow K_2SO_4 + Cr_2(SO_4)_3 + 2H_2O \] ### Step 6: Determine Values of \( x \), \( y \), and \( z \) - From the balanced equation: - \( x = 2 \) (for \( H_2SO_4 \)) - \( y = 3 \) (for \( SO_2 \)) - \( z = 2 \) (for \( H_2O \)) ### Conclusion The values of \( x \), \( y \), and \( z \) are: - \( x = 2 \) - \( y = 3 \) - \( z = 2 \) ### Final Answer Thus, the answer is \( x = 2, y = 3, z = 2 \).
