aK_2 CrO_4  + bHCl → cK_2 Cr_2 O_7  + dKCl + eH_2 O  In left side                         In right side   K = 2a                               K = 2c + d  Cr = a                               Cr = 2c          O = 4a                              O = 7c + e    H = b                                 H = 2e   Cl = b                                Cl = d    Assume that d = 1  • b = d = 1  • b = 2e  →  e = (1/2)  • 2a = 2c + d  →   4a − 4c = 2      4a = 7c + e  →  4a − 7c = (1/2)_(_______________)                                                     3c = (3/2)  →  c = (1/2)  • a = 1    ∴ K_2 CrO_4  + HCl → (1/2)K_2 Cr_2 O_7  + KCl + (1/2)H_2 O       2K_2 CrO_4  + 2HCl → K_2 Cr_2 O_7  + 2KCl + H_2 O
