The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the concentration of `0.1 M K2Cr2O7` in equivalents per liter. The relevant half-reaction provided is: \[ \text{Cr}_2\text{O}_7^{2-} + 14 \text{H}^+ + 6 \text{e}^- \rightarrow 2 \text{Cr}^{3+} + 7 \text{H}_2\text{O} \] ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Molarity of the Solution**: The concentration of the potassium dichromate solution is given as `0.1 M`. 2. **Calculate the Number of Moles**: Since the volume of the solution is 1 liter, we can calculate the number of moles of `K2Cr2O7`: \[ \text{Number of moles} = \text{Molarity} \times \text{Volume} = 0.1 \, \text{mol/L} \times 1 \, \text{L} = 0.1 \, \text{mol} \] 3. **Determine the n-factor**: The n-factor is defined as the number of electrons transferred in the reaction. From the half-reaction, we see that `6 electrons` are involved in the reduction of `Cr2O7^{2-}` to `Cr^{3+}`. Therefore, the n-factor is: \[ n = 6 \] 4. **Calculate Normality**: Normality (N) is calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Normality} = \text{Molarity} \times n \] Substituting the values we have: \[ \text{Normality} = 0.1 \, \text{M} \times 6 = 0.6 \, \text{N} \] 5. **Conclude the Concentration in Equivalents per Liter**: Since normality is equivalent to the concentration in equivalents per liter, we conclude that: \[ \text{Concentration in equivalents per liter} = 0.6 \, \text{eq/L} \] ### Final Answer: The concentration of `0.1 M K2Cr2O7` in equivalents per liter is **0.6 eq/L**.
