Describe the oxidising action of potassium dichromate and write the ionic equation for its reaction with iodide.

उत्तर
Potassium dichromate acts as a strong oxidizing agent. It is used as a primary standard in volumetric analysis. The oxidation action of dichromate ion in an acidic medium can be represented as follows:
\[\ce{Cr2O^2-_7 + 14H+ + 6e^- -> 2Cr^{3+} + 7H2O}\] (E– = 1.33 V)
The iodide ion (I−) is oxidised to I2 by the acidified solution of K2Cr2O7.
\[\ce{Cr2O^2-_7 + 14H+ + 6e- -> 2Cr^{3+} + 7H2O}\]
\[\ce{6I- -> 3I2 + 6e-}\]
