At the point when an orange arrangement containing Cr2O72–particle is treated with an antacid, a yellow arrangement is framed and when H+ particles are added to a yellow arrangement, an orange arrangement is acquired. Clarify for what reason does this occur?

Solution:

At the point when Cr2O72–is treated with an antacid:

 

    \[\left( orange \right)\text{ }Cr2O72+\text{ }OH-\to \text{ }2CrO42-\left( yellow \right)\]

At the point when the yellow arrangement is treated with a corrosive, we get back the orange arrangement:

    \[\left( yellow \right)2CrO42-+2H+\to Cr2O72\left( orange \right)+\text{ }H2O~\]
