[O] = K2Cr2O7/H2SO4
You have 2 OH groups, not 1
1 OH needs 2[O]
2 OH needs 4{O]
Hi @taqiyah,

Thank you for posting in the Chemistry Forum!

I've updated the title of your thread to 'Oxidising agents (balancing)' and added an A-Level label for better clarity. While you did receive responses, it's advisable to be more specific in your query to receive a quicker response.
