[edit] Use in qualitative organic analysis

In organic chemistry, dilute solutions of hexavalent chromium can be used to oxidize primary or secondary alcohols to the corresponding aldehydes and ketones. Tertiary alcohol groups are unaffected. Because of the oxidation is signaled by a color change from orange to a blue-green, chromic acid is used as a qualitative analytical test for the presence of primary or secondary alcohols.

How chromic acid is prepared from potassium dichromate and sulphuric acid?

Chromic acid is the acid in chromic acid. The chemical formula is H2CrO3 (Not correct)Added & Corrected:Often the species are assigned the formulas H2CrO4 (dihydrogen chromate) and H2Cr2O7 (dihydrogen dichromate).The anhydride of these "chromic acids" is chromium trioxide, also called chromium(VI) oxide (2CrO3=Cr2O6).Regardless of its exact formula, chromic acid features chromium in an oxidation state of +6 (or VI), the highest known.

Preparation of chromic acid from chromium trioxide?

A general rule of thumb in chemistry is that metal oxides in water will form acids: CrO3+H2O -> H2CrO4. In fact, Chromium Trioxide is often sold as Chromic anhydride, that is, the anhydride of Chromic acid (take away water from Chromic acid, and you have...)
