When H2O2\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}_2 is added to ice cold solution of acidified potassium dichromate in ether and the contents are shaken and allowed to stand

Options

  1. Aa blue colour is obtained in ether because of formation of CrO5\mathrm{CrO}_5
  2. Ba blue colour is obtained in ether because of formation of CrO3\mathrm{CrO}_3
  3. Ca blue colour is obtained in ether because of formation of $\mathrm{Cr}_2\left(\mathrm{SO}_4\right)_3
  4. Dchromyl chloride is formed

Correct answer

A. a blue colour is obtained in ether because of formation of CrO5\mathrm{CrO}_5

Step-by-step solution

When H2O2\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}_2 is added to acidified potassium dichromate in ether solution, potassium dichromate is oxidised to blue peroxide of chromium (CrO5)\left(\mathrm{CrO}_5\right) which is soluble in ether and produces blue coloured solution. K2Cr2O7+H2SO4+4H2O2⟶2CrO5+K2SO4+5H2O\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{K}_2 \mathrm{Cr}_2 \mathrm{O}_7+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4+4 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}_2 \longrightarrow \\ & 2 \mathrm{CrO}_5+\mathrm{K}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4+5 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \\ & \end{aligned}
