Just wondering what if this reaction will work

 

acidic K2cr207(2-) is added to HNO3 ?

 

i think it will

 

also what is the oxidizing agent ? Both are oxidizing agents > Unless im wrong ?

Since you don't give any potential products of course it wont work. It's like saying "I have a hammer and a nail, will it work?" With no potential outcome, there can be no speculation on success.

huh ? you dont get products ? and i dont know the potiential products

 

if you look on the chart it says

 

cr207(2-)---> cr3+ --reduction

 

the other one hno3 is a strong oxidizer agent according to wiki....

 

im assuming its

 

no3---> No or no2 and seems like a reduction again

 

So we got two oxidizer agents...cr207 is higher so it seems to work?

 

basically 6---> +3 is a reduction==oxizing agent ?

 

6----> 4 again reduction

 

so what one is the oxidizing agent when you combine em cause something must happen ?

HNO3 dissociates...its a strong acid so it 100% ionizes..its also low soluble...

 

HNO3 + h20 ---> H30 + NO3...

 

from here use the chart...or half cell method

 

Hno3----> NO3 + H+ +e-

 

so that one is oxidizes and is a RA...

 

so the one that is a oxidizing agent is cr207

 

hows that ?
