Q4 / 54 · JEE Advanced 2020 (Paper 2) · Chemistry

An acidified solution of potassium chromate was layered with an equal volume of amyl alcohol. When it was shaken after the addition of 1 mL of 3% H2O2, a blue alcohol layer was obtained. The blue color is due to the formation of a chromium (VI) compound 'X'. What is the number of oxygen atoms bonded to chromium through only single bonds in a molecule of X?

Correct answer: 4

Solution

K2CrO4→H+/H2O2CrO5(Deep Blue solution)

Figure

No. of oxygen atom bonded with chromium with single bond is (4).

 

Hence, the correct answer is 4.
