This is why: Ferrous ion, Fe++ is a reducer, by tending to being oxidized towards Fe+++

Cr in dichromate is +6 and by being reduced it becomes Cr+++ which is green

What is the equation when ammonium sulphate react with potassium nitrate Will it store for commercial purpose?

Ammonium sulphate and potassium nitrate do not react. All that will happen is that the solution will contain separate ammonium, sulphate, potassium, and nitrate ions dissolved in an aqueous (water) solution.


Potassium sulphate formula?

The formula unit for potassium sulphate is K2SO4.


What is principle of potassium dichromate in COD estimation?

The titer volume of the sample gives the volume of Ferrous Ammonium Sulphate required to react with the excess potassium dichromate in the solution. Similarly, the titer volume for the blank (distilled water) gives the volume of Ferrous Ammonium Sulphate required to react with the excess potassium dichromate in the blank. The equation for the titration can be expressed as: Cr2O72 -- + FeSO4 (NH4)2SO4 = Cr+ + NH4+ + Fe 3+ From above equation it can be seen that one molecule of dichromate corresponds to one molecule of Mohr's salt. Thus, the difference in volume of excess K2Cr2O7 reacting with Mohr's solution can be calculated from the expression: = (Original vol. K2Cr2O7 -- vol. of K2Cr2O7 used for oxidation) solution - (Original vol. K2Cr2O7 -- vol. of K2Cr2O7 used for oxidation) blank = (Vol. of K2Cr2O7 used for oxidation) blank - Vol. of K2Cr2O7 used for oxidation) solution Hence, the difference in the titer volume for the solution and the blank is used to find out the Chemical Oxygen Demand directly.

What is the difference between potassium chloride and potassium nitrate?

The difference between potassium nitrate and potassium sulphate is that the potassium nitrate is superior to potassium sulphate. The potassium nitrate has high solubility while the potassium sulphate has moderate solubility.
