You find the following balanced reaction, it has not been completed but you notice a mistake, what mistake was made?
Cr₂O72- + H₂C2O4 → Cr³+ + CO₂
Cr₂O72- + 14H+ → Cr³+ + 7H₂O
H2C2O42CO2 + 2H+
Cr₂O72- + 14H+ + 9e → Cr³+ + 7H₂O
H₂C2O4 2CO₂ + 2H+ + 2e

2Cr2O72- +9H₂C2O4 + 18e + 28H+→ 2Cr³+ + 14H₂O + 18CO2 + 18H+ + 18e-
Cr2O72- + H2C2O4 → Cr³+ + CO₂
Cr₂O72- + 14H → Cr³+ + 7H₂O
Cr₂O72- + 14H + 9e Cr³+ + 7H₂O
2Cr₂O72- + 18e +28H → 2Cr3+ + 14H₂O
2Cr2O72 +9H2C2O4 + 18e + 28H → 2Cr³+ + 14H2O + 18CO2 + 18H + 18e
