To an acidified dichromate solution, a pinch of \( N a_{2} O_{2} \) and ether is added and shaken.What is observed?

  • A. Deep violet colour
  • B. Red colour changing to green
  • C. AgF is insoluble, others are soluble
  • D. All are insoluble

Step-by-step solution

Na2O2 reacts with acid to produce H2O2, which reacts with dichromate (Cr2O7^2-) in acidic medium to form chromium peroxide (CrO5), a deep violet compound that is extracted into ether, giving a deep violet color in the ether layer.
