Correct statements from the following are A. Potassium dichromate...

Correct statements from the following are
A. Potassium dichromate is an oxidising agent and it oxidises FeSO4FeSO_4 to Fe2(SO4)3Fe_2(SO_4)_3 in acidic medium.
B. Sodium dichromate can be used as primary standard in volumetric estimation.
C. CrO42−CrO_4^{2-} and Cr2O72−Cr_2O_7^{2-} are interconvertible in aqueous solution by varying the pHpH of the solution.
D. CrCr-OO-CrCr bond angle in Cr2O72−Cr_2O_7^{2-} is 126∘126^\circ.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Options

  1. AA, B and C Only
  2. BA, C and D Only
  3. CA and C Only
  4. 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+Fe^{2+} to Fe3+Fe^{3+}, converting FeSO4FeSO_4 to Fe2(SO4)3Fe_2(SO_4)_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−CrO_4^{2-}) and dichromate (Cr2O72−Cr_2O_7^{2-}) ions are interconvertible in aqueous solution depending on the pHpH of the solution. In acidic medium, chromate changes to dichromate, and in basic medium, dichromate changes to chromate: 2CrO42−+2H+⇌Cr2O72−+H2O2CrO_4^{2-} + 2H^+ \rightleftharpoons Cr_2O_7^{2-} + H_2O.

Statement D is correct. The structure of the dichromate ion consists of two tetrahedral CrO3CrO_3 groups joined by a bridging oxygen atom, and the Cr−O−CrCr-O-Cr bond angle is 126∘126^\circ.

Therefore, statements A, C, and D are correct.

Answer: A, C and D Only
