Question:medium

How do you prepare K₂Cr₂O₇ from chromite ore?

Show Hint

Remember the color changes as a guide for the steps: Chromite Ore (Brown/Black) $\to$ Chromate (Yellow) $\to$ Dichromate (Orange).
Also, note that the conversion of chromate to dichromate is a reversible pH-dependent process: chromate is stable in basic medium, while dichromate is stable in acidic medium.
