Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Identify the oxidation states of the elements involved in the reaction before and after the reaction to determine which element is reduced.
Focus on chromium in the dichromate ion (Cr_2O_7^{2-}). In dichromate, chromium typically has an oxidation state of +6.
Look at the chromium in the product, Cr^{3+}, where chromium has an oxidation state of +3.
Since the oxidation state of chromium decreases from +6 to +3, chromium gains electrons and is therefore reduced.
Confirm that other elements (hydrogen, oxygen, carbon) do not show a decrease in oxidation state, so they are not reduced.
