Potassium dichromate is a very important chemical used in industry and extensively used as an oxidizing agent in organic chemistry. Dichromates are generally prepared from chromate, which in turn is obtained from chromite ore ( FeCr ₂ O ₄ ) . Reaction of potassium dichromate with concentrated HCl and zinc powder forms octahedral CrCl ₃ n H ₂ O ( Y ) . Y on reaction with concentrated NH ₃ solution forms a compound Z h
Options
- AZnCl ₂ is formed during the reaction of potassium dichromate with con. HCl .
- BThe oxidation number of Cr in potassium dichromate and in the chromite ore are +6 and +3 respectively.
- CY and Z exhibit geometrical isomerism.
- DZ absorbs light at shorter wavelength compared to Y .
Correct answer
D. Z absorbs light at shorter wavelength compared to Y .
