- BA, C and D Only
- CA and C Only
- DB and D Only
Correct answer
B. A, C and D Only
Step-by-step solution
Statement A is correct. Potassium dichromate acts as a strong oxidising agent in acidic medium and oxidises Fe²⁺ to Fe³⁺ , converting FeSO₄ to Fe₂(SO₄)₃ . Statement B is incorrect. Sodium dichromate is deliquescent (absorbs moisture from the atmosphere), which prevents it from being weighed accurately. Therefore, it cannot be used as a primary standard in volumetric estimation. Potassium dichromate is used instead. Statement C is correct. Chromate ( CrO₄²⁻ ) and dichromate ( Cr₂O₇²⁻ ) ions are interconvertible in a
