Historically, chromium (Cr) has been used in numerous industrial processes, including leather tanning and metal plating operations. In these applications, if the water is mildly acidic, the Cr is typically present as bichromate (HCrO4) and/or dichromate (Cr2O72-) ions. These ions can be interconverted by the reaction: Cr₂O7²- + H₂O The standard Gibbs energies of formation of HCrO4, Cr₂O7², and H₂O are -764.8, -1301, and -237.18 kJ/mol, respectively. Compute the equilibrium constant for the conversion of HCrO4 to Cr₂O7²-. 2HCrO4

Historically, chromium (Cr) has been used in numerous industrial processes, including leather tanning
and metal plating operations. In these applications, if the water is mildly acidic, the Cr is typically
present as bichromate (HCrO4) and/or dichromate (Cr2O72-) ions. These ions can be interconverted
by the reaction:
Cr₂O7²- + H₂O
The standard Gibbs energies of formation of HCrO4, Cr2O72, and H₂O are -764.8, -1301, and -237.18
kJ/mol, respectively. Compute the equilibrium constant for the conversion of HCrO4 to Cr₂O7²-.
