                  hydrogen ions 
                 Thus the concentration of (yellow) CrO42- ions decrease and the
                  concentration of (orange) Cr2O72- ions increase 

                 Salpetersuur ioniseer volledig in oplossing, dus verhoog die
                  konsentrasie waterstofione.
                 Die voorwaartse reaksie word bevoordeel om die konsentrasie van
                  die waterstofione te verminder.
