Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\text{CrO}_4^{2-}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

When potassium dichromate (\(\text{K}_2\text{Cr}_2\text{O}_7\)) is treated with an alkali like aqueous NaOH, the orange dichromate ion is converted to the yellow chromate ion. The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is:…
