Electrochemistry — practice question

During the reaction of sodium dichromate(VI), $\text{Na}_2\text{Cr}_2\text{O}_7$, with hydrogen peroxide, $\text{H}_2\text{O}_2$, $\text{Cr}^{3+}$ ions, water and oxygen are formed. What is the correctly balanced ionic equation for this reaction?

  • A$\text{Cr}_2\text{O}_7^{2-} + 2\text{H}^+ + \text{H}_2\text{O}_2 \rightarrow 2\text{Cr}^{3+} + 2\text{H}_2\text{O} + 4\text{O}_2$
  • B$\text{Cr}_2\text{O}_7^{2-} + 8\text{H}^+ + 3\text{H}_2\text{O}_2 \rightarrow 2\text{Cr}^{3+} + 7\text{H}_2\text{O} + 3\text{O}_2$
  • C$\text{Cr}_2\text{O}_7^{2-} + 8\text{H}^+ + 6\text{H}_2\text{O}_2 \rightarrow 2\text{Cr}^{3+} + 10\text{H}_2\text{O} + 6\text{O}_2$
  • D$\text{Cr}_2\text{O}_7^{2-} + 14\text{H}^+ + 3\text{H}_2\text{O}_2 \rightarrow 2\text{Cr}^{3+} + 7\text{H}_2\text{O} + 3\text{O}_2$
