Oxidation
« on: November 17, 2015, 04:01:47 AM »
Is this correct written up when I have the oxidation of K2CrO4 in HCl:

16 HCl + 2 K2CrO4 --> 3 Cl2 + 2 CrCl3 + 8 H2O + 4 KCl

In sum its ok, but normally if developing redox reaction spectator ions like K+ and some of the chlorides are not used.
Its fine to write:

2 CrO42- + 16 H+ + 6 Cl- => 2 Cr3+ + 3 Cl2 + 8 H2O
