Acidic dichromate ion reacts with hydrogen peroxide to give deep blue colour. This is due to the formation of
Options
- ACrO ( O )₂
- BCrO ₅
- CBoth (a) and (b)
- DNone of (a) and (b)
Correct answer
B. CrO ₅
Step-by-step solution
When cold H ₂ O ₂ is added in cold mixture of K ₂ Cr ₂ O ₇ and conc. H ₂ SO ₄ (i.e. K ₂ Cr ₂ O ₇ in acidic medium), a deep blue solution of blue perchromate is obtained as, K ₂ Cr ₂ O ₇+ H ₂ SO ₄ ~K ₂ SO ₄+ H ₂ Cr ₂ O ₇
