Question:

Chromium is most toxic and highly soluble in its oxidized Cr(VI) state but is less toxic and less soluble in its more reduced Cr(III) state. Efforts to detoxify Cr-contaminated groundwater have involved injecting chemical reducing agents underground. Another approach is bioremediation, which involves injecting molasses or cooking oil into the contaminated groundwater. Explain how these substances would promote the reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III).
