Detailed Solution:

Reduction half reaction.

Cr? O? ²? + 14H? + 6e? → 2Cr? ³ + 7H? O

Oxidation half reaction

SO? ²? + H? O → SO? ²? + 2e? ] * 3

Oxygen is balanced by adding water and hydrogen is balanced by adding H? and the charge is balanced by electrons.

Add ( eq. (i) + (3 * eq. (ii) )

Cr? O? ²? + 3SO? ²? + 8H? → 2Cr? ³ +
