Most Important Selected Qs for JEE AdvancedChemistryHydrogen
An aqueous solution of X on addition of hydrogen peroxide in ice cold conditions gives blue colour to the ethereal layer. Then, X can be
Options
- Aacidified potassium chromate
- Balkaline potassium dichromate
- Cacidified potassium manganate
- Dacidified potassium permanganate
Correct answer
A. acidified potassium chromate
Step-by-step solution
Both chromate and dichromate radicals on reaction with acidified H ₂ O ₂ give blue solution which turns green on standing. In the presence of organic solvents such as diethyl ether, amyl alcohol or pyridine, permanent blue colour obtained.
