Solution
The correct option is C solution turns yellow due to formation of CrO(O2)2 and no redox change When H2O2 is added to an acidified solution of K2Cr2O7, then solution turns yellow due to formation of CrO(O2)2 and no redox change occurs. The reaction is as follows: Cr2O2−7+2H++4H2O2⟶2CrO(O2)2+5H2O
