SUMMARY
The forum discussion centers on the net potential for the reactions involving Fe2+ and Co3+, as well as CrO42− and MoO2 under acidic conditions. The conclusion for the first reaction is that there is no reaction, as Co3+ is not a strong enough oxidizer to oxidize Fe2+. In the second reaction, the balanced equation is confirmed as 2CrO42− + MoO2 + 4H+ → Cr2O72- + 2H2O + Mo4+, indicating a successful oxidation process.
