Sodium dichromate \(Na _2 Cr _2 O _7\) and Potassium dichromate \(K _2 Cr _2 O _7\) are strong oxidizing agents; in acidic solution, its oxidising action can be represented as follows :
\(Cr _2 O _7^{2-}+14 H ^{+}+6 e^{-} \rightarrow 2 Cr ^{3+}+7 H _2 O \left( E ^{\circ}=1.33 V\right)\)
The chromates and dichromates are interconvertible in aqueous solution depending upon pH of the solution.
The chromate ion is tetrahedral whereas the dichromate ion consists of two tetrahedra sharing one corner with \(Cr - O - Cr\) bond angle of \(126^{\circ}\)
Potassium permanganate is prepared by fusion of \(MnO _2\) with an alkali metal hydroxide and an oxidising agent like \(KNO _3\).
This produces the dark green \(K _2 MnO _4\) which disproportionates in a neutral or acidic solution to give permanganate. It is a strong oxidizing agent. Hydrogen ion concentration of the solution plays
an important part in the reduction of permanganate to manganate, manganese dioxide and manganese(II) salt.
Potassium permanganate forms dark purple (almost black) crystals which are isostructural with those of \(KClO _4\).
The salt is not very soluble in water \((6.4 g / 100 g\) of water at 293 K ), but when heated it decomposes at 513 K .
Choose the correct statement from the options given below :
- A \(K _2 MnO _4\) is isostructural with \(KClO _4\)
- B Chromate ion gets converted to a dichromate ion in basic medium.
- C In \(K _2 Cr _2 O _7\) all \(Cr - O\) bonds have equal bond length.
- D \(K _2 Cr _2 O _7\) is used as primary standard in volumetric analysis.

The term vitamin was coined from the word vital +amine since the earlier identified compounds had amino groups. Later work showed that most of them didn't contain amino groups, so the letter "e" was dropped and ther term vitamin is used these days.
Vitamins are classified into two groups depending upon their solubility in water or fat. Fat soluble vitamins are soluble in fat and oils but insoluble in water. They are stored in liver and adipose (fat storing) tissues. Water-soluble vitamins are soluble in water. They must be supplied regularly in the diet as they are readily excreated in urine.

The chemical reactions proceed at different rates which depend on various factors like concentration, temperature, etc. Rate law is an expression which relates the rate of reaction with concentration of various reacting species in the reaction. For a first order reaction, the concentration of the reactant after time \(t\) is related with its initial concentration by the relation, \(C=C_0 e^{-k t}\). The rate constants for different orders have different expressions. For a first order reaction, \(k=\frac{2.303}{t} \log \frac{a}{a-x}\), where \(a\) is the initial concentration and \(x\) is the extent of reaction.

ABO blood groups in human beings are controlled by the gene I. The plasma membrane of the red blood cells has sugar polymers that protrude from its surfaces and the kind of sugar is controlled by the gene. The gene (I) has three alleles IA, IB and I. The alleles IA and IB produce a slightly different form of the sugar while allele i does not produce any sugar. Because humans are diploid organisms, each person possesses any two of the three I gene alleles, IA and IB are completely dominant over I.
