Solution

The correct option is A Oxidation :Fe2+Fe3++e ; Reduction :Cr2O72+14H++6e2Cr2++7H2O
The balanced chemical equation representing the oxidation of ferrous ions with dichromate ions is as follows:
Cr2O27+6Fe2++14H+2Cr3++6Fe3++7H2O
The oxidation half reaction is :Fe2+Fe3++e.
It represents the oxidation of ferrous ions to ferric ions.
The reduction half reaction is :Cr2O27+14H++6e2Cr3++7H2O.
It represent the reduction of dichromate ions to Cr(III) ions.
