The quantity of electricity in Faraday needed to reduce 1   mol of Cr 2 O 7 2 - to Cr 3 + is

The quantity of electricity in Faraday needed to reduce 1 mol of Cr2O72- to Cr3+ is

Solution

1 faraday of charge is the magnitude of charge of one mole of electrons.

According to the given reaction: 
Cr2O72-+ 6e-2Cr3+

Reduction of 1 mol of Cr2O72- to Cr3+ requires 6 moles of electrons. Hence, charge required =6 Faraday
