Chromium is one of the toxic substances in the environment. Reduction of Cr (VI) to Cr (III) is environmentally favorable as the latter species is not toxic to most living organisms and also has a low mobility and bioavailability. Ferrous iron is one possible reductant implicated as a major contributor to the removal of Cr (VI) from suboxic and anoxic waters and soils. Cr (VI) appears as Cr2O72¯ and the form of Cr (III) is Cr3+. Establish this widespread reaction and balance it. Show each step of balancing.

Chromium, especially Cr(VI), is a toxic heavy metal that finds its way into the environment from a variety of industrial sources. Methods for trace chromium analysis include atomic absorption spectroscopy and anodic stripping voltammetry. To prepare 500 mL of stock standard solution of 1000 mg/L chromium using potassium dichromate one would: Select one: a. Dissolve 2.9419 g potassium dichromate and make up to a final volume of 0.500 L. b. Add 1.4145 g potassium dichromate to 1.000 L water. c....
