The correct Answer is:
To determine whether the statement "If an acidified solution of K₂Cr₂O₇ turns green on addition of a salt, the salt may contain Fe²⁺" is true or false, we can analyze the chemical reactions involved. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Reaction**: - Potassium dichromate (K₂Cr₂O₇) in an acidic solution contains dichromate ions (Cr₂O₇²⁻), which are orange in color. - When Fe²⁺ ions are present in this acidic medium, they can react with the dichromate ions. 2. **Oxidation and Reduction**: - In the reaction, Fe²⁺ is oxidized to Fe³⁺. - At the same time, the dichromate ions (Cr₂O₇²⁻) are reduced to Cr³⁺ ions, which are green in color. 3. **Chemical Equation**: - The balanced chemical equation for the reaction can be represented as: \[ Cr_2O_7^{2-} + 6Fe^{2+} + 14H^+ \rightarrow 2Cr^{3+} + 6Fe^{3+} + 7H_2O \] - Here, the dichromate ion (orange) is reduced to chromium(III) ion (green). 4. **Conclusion**: - Since the addition of a salt containing Fe²⁺ leads to the reduction of dichromate ions and the formation of green Cr³⁺ ions, the statement is **true**. ### Final Answer: The statement is **true**. If an acidified solution of K₂Cr₂O₇ turns green on addition of a salt, the salt may contain Fe²⁺.
