A) balanced redox reaction–

K2Cr2O7 + 3 SnCl2 +14 HCl → 3 SnCl4 +2 CrCl3 + 2 KCl + 7 H2O

b) oxidising agent –

2 Cr + 6 e- → 2 CrIII (reduction) so, K2Cr2O7 Is An oxidising agent.

c) reducing agent –

3 SnII - 6 e- → 3 SnIV (oxidation)

SnCl2 is an Reducing agent.

d) Type of titrymetry is potassium dichromate.

e)brucine is used as a indicator in dichrometry and it is a internal indicator.

f) The colour is blue.

g) 67.3%
