Edexcel IAL Chemistry A2 17.20 chromium redox changes and E values
Pearson Edexcel IAL Chemistry syllabusChemistry YCH11First assessment 2019

Use E values and oxidation-number changes to decide whether chromium species are oxidised or reduced, then connect the product to its colour and balanced equation.

How this is tested

  • Use E values to decide whether Cr3+ is oxidised to dichromate or chromate.
  • Identify chromium colours such as orange dichromate, yellow chromate and green Cr3+.
  • Write balanced chromium redox equations from Data Booklet half-equations.
