Problem: The following redox reaction occurs in acidic conditions. Use the following steps to balance the equation.

Fe2+ + Cr2O72- Fe3+ + Cr3+ (unbalanced)

Required:

Question 1: Write the oxidation and reduction half-reactions without electrons. Balance for atoms except O and H. Indicate which is the oxidation reaction and which is the reduction reaction.

Question 2: Balance for O and H.

Question 3: Balance each half-reaction for charge.

Question 4: Equalize charge for the two half-reactions, add the equations, and simplify to get the balanced equation.
