A chromite ore ' P ' reacts with calcined soda to form a yellow coloured solution containing iron(III) oxide and compound ' Q '. This solution is filtered and the filtrate is acidified with sulphuric acid to form an orange solution containing compound ' R ', which can be crystallized. In solution, the compounds ' Q ' and ' R ' are inter-convertible depending on the pH of the solution. ' R ' on treatment with potassiu
Options
- AThe chromite ore ' P ' contains only Cr and oxide ions.
- BThe oxidation state of the Cr in ' Q ' is +3 , whereas in ' R ' and ' S ' it is +6
- CThe geometry around Cr in ' Q ', ' R ' and ' S ' is tetrahedral.
- DThe acidified 'S' reacts with Fe ²⁺ ions and changes them into Fe ³⁺ ions.
Correct answer
D. The acidified 'S' reacts with Fe ²⁺ ions and changes them into Fe ³⁺ ions.
