When orange solution containing Cr_(2)O_(7)^(2-) ion is treated with an alkali, a yellow solution is formed and when H^(+) ions are added to yellow solution, an orange solution is obtained. Explain why does this happen?

Answer»

Solution :orange COLOUR `Cr_(2)O_(7)^(2-)` ion and yellow colour `CrO_(4)^(2-)` are inter-convertible depending on the PH of MEDIUM.
`underset(("orange colour"))(Cr_(2)O_(7)^(2-)) underset(H^(+))overset(""^(-)OH)HARR underset(("yellow colour"))(CrO_(4)^(2-))`
