    When hydrogen peroxide is added to acidified potassium dichromate, a blue colour is produced due to formation of

    A)  \[Cr{{O}_{3}}\]                

    B)         \[C{{r}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}\]

    C)  \[Cr{{O}_{5}}\]                

    D)         \[CrO_{4}^{2-}\]

    E)  \[C{{r}_{2}}O_{7}^{2-}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Acidified potassium dichromate is oxidized to unstable blue chromium peroxide, which is soluble in ether and produces blue coloured solution. \[{{K}_{2}}C{{r}_{2}}{{O}_{7}}+{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}+4{{H}_{2}}{{O}_{2}}\to \] \[\underset{blue\text{ }colour}{\mathop{2Cr{{O}_{5}}+}}\,{{K}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}+5{{H}_{2}}O\]
