When `H_(2)O_(2)` is added to ice cold solution of acidified potassium dichromate in ether and the contents are shaken and allowed to stand

A

a blue colour is obtained in ether due to formation of `Cr_(2)(SO_(4))_(3)`

B

a blue colour is obtained in ether due to formation of `CrO_(5)`

C

a blue colour is obtained in ether due to formation of `CrO_(3)`

D

chromyl chloride is formed

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
When `H_(2)O_(2)` is added to acidified potassium dichromate in ether solution, potassium dichromate is oxidised to blue peroxide of chromium `(CrO_(5))` which is soluble in ether and produces blue coloured solution.
`K_(2)Cr_(2)O_(7)+H_(2)SO_(4)+4H_(2)O_(2)to2CrO_(5)+K_(2)SO_(4)+5H_(2)O`
