B. Sodium dichromate can be used as primary standard in volumetric estimation.
C. and are interconvertible in aqueous solution by varying the of the solution.
D. -- bond angle in is .
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Options
- AA, B and C Only
- 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 to , converting to .
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 () and dichromate () ions are interconvertible in aqueous solution depending on the of the solution. In acidic medium, chromate changes to dichromate, and in basic medium, dichromate changes to chromate: .
Statement D is correct. The structure of the dichromate ion consists of two tetrahedral groups joined by a bridging oxygen atom, and the bond angle is .
Therefore, statements A, C, and D are correct.
Answer: A, C and D Only
