Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) acidified potassium chromate

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The formation of a blue colour in the ethereal layer upon the addition of hydrogen peroxide (\(H_{2}O_{2}\)) to an aqueous solution in ice-cold conditions is a characteristic test for the presence of chromium(VI). When \(H_{2}O_{2}\) reacts with acidified dichromate or chromate…
