Chemistry

Balance the following equation, remove all mole fractions
C₅H₁₂O +K₂Cr₂O₇ +H₂SO₄ =Cr₂(SO₄)₃ +C₂H₄O₂ +K₂SO₄ + H₂O
I need the half reaction 1, half reaction 2, and the completebalanced equation (with K⁺ andSO₄^2-)
Please explain your steps, I'm trying to study for a test andI'm not sure how to go about this. Thank you!
