Solution
The correct option is D change the reduction potential involving the indicator Fe+2 ion titration with Cr2O−27 using diphenyl amine as internal indicator. H3PO4 added in solution containing Fe+2.
Role of phosphoric acid is added to mate complex with Fe+3 and move oxidation Fe+2 forward. Lowering Fe+3, reduction potential change is increased. Hence endpoint is easily detected.
