    The complete equation for the reaction is

    Cr₂O₇²⁻ + 6Cl⁻ + 14H⁺ - - - > 2Cr³⁺ + 3Cl₂ + 7H₂O

    in the oxidation half reaction the oxidation number of the species increases.

    in the reduction half reaction the oxidation number of the species decreases.

    the oxidation number of Cr reduces from + 6 in Cr₂O₇²⁻ to + 3 in Cr³⁺

    the oxidation number of Cl increases from - 1 in Cl⁻ to Cl₂ therefore oxidation takes place

    oxidation half reaction is as follows

    2Cl⁻ - - > Cl₂ + 2e
