In chromyl chloride test for confirmation of Cl – ion, a yellow solution is obtained. Acidification of the solution and addition of amyl alcohol and 10 % H 2 O 2 turns organic layer blue indicating formation of chromium pentoxide. The oxidation state of chromium in that is
Options
- A+ 6
- B+ 5
- C+ 10
- D+ 3
Correct answer
A. + 6
Step-by-step solution
The chromyl chloride test is used to detect chloride ions in the qualitative analysis. If any chloride salt like sodium chloride is heated with acidified potassium dichromate it produces red colour fumes of chromyl chloride. It confirms the presence of chloride ions in that salt. Cl - + K 2 Cr 2 O 7 + H 2 SO 4 → CrO 2 Cl 2 → Basic medium CrO 4 2 - yellow solution + Cl - Chromate reacts rapidly with hydrogen peroxide to exchange two oxo ligands and become diperoxochromate(VI) CrO 4 2 - yellow solution → 3 . 10 % H 2
