Which of the following statements is false?
On passing H₂S through acidified K₂Cr₂O₇ solution, a milky colour is observed.
Na₂Cr₂O₇ is preferred over K₂Cr₂O₇ in volumetric analysis.
K₂Cr₂O₇ solution in an acidic medium is orange.
K₂Cr₂O₇ solution becomes yellow in increasing the pH beyond 7
Statement B is false because Sodium dichromate () is hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from the atmosphere), making it difficult to weigh accurately for preparing standard solutions. Therefore, Potassium dichromate (), which is not hygroscopic, is preferred as a primary standard in volumetric analysis .
