Which of the following statements about chromium species are correct?

  1. AAcidic is the reagent for oxidising to in the group III scheme
  2. BChromium has oxidation state in both and
  3. CAcidifying chromate to dichromate is not a redox reaction
  4. DIn chromium is in oxidation state and the compound has two peroxo groups

Answer: B, C, D

Both chromate and dichromate are Cr(VI), the conversion involves no electron transfer, and has Cr(VI) with two units. The oxidation of Cr(III) to chromate requires alkaline peroxide, not acidic, so the last statement is false.
