Potassium Dichromate (VI) can be acidified with sulphuric acid AND hydrochloric acid!
Note that another common oxidising agent ' Acidified Potassium Manganate (VII)' is sometimes used although this one can only be acidified with sulphuric acid not hydrochloric as the Manganate (VII) oxodises the Cl- ion instead!
The reaction between potassium dichromate and hydrochloric acid forms chromic chloride, chlorine gas, and water. This reaction is a redox reaction, as the potassium dichromate is reduced while the hydrochloric acid is oxidized.
The balanced equation between potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7) and oxalic acid (H2C2O4) is: K2Cr2O7 + 3H2C2O4 -> Cr2(C2O4)3 + 2K2C2O4 + 4H2O
When sulfuric acid and potassium dichromate react in ethanol, they form chromium(III) sulfate, potassium sulfate, water, and carbon dioxide. This is a redox reaction where the dichromate ion is reduced to chromium(III) while sulfuric acid is acting as a catalyst. The products will vary depending on the specific conditions of the reaction.
When potassium dichromate reacts with butanol, it undergoes oxidation-reduction reaction. The potassium dichromate is reduced to chromium(III) oxide and butanol is oxidized to butanal (aldehyde) or butanoic acid (carboxylic acid) depending on the reaction conditions. The color change from orange to green or blue is often observed due to the reduction of potassium dichromate.
HCl is not used to acidify the media in potassium permanganate titration because it can react with potassium permanganate, which can interfere with the titration results. Sulfuric acid is usually preferred as it does not react with potassium permanganate and ensures accurate titration results.

When potassium dichromate reacts with sulfuric acid, the following reaction takes place: K2Cr2O7 + 2H2SO4 -> Cr2(SO4)3 + K2SO4 + 2H2O + 3O2. This reaction results in the formation of chromium(III) sulfate, potassium sulfate, water, and oxygen gas as products.
This is a mixture of 2K+ and Cr2O72- ions in strong sulfuric acid, made from potassium chromate.2CrO4- + 2H+ ----> Cr2O72- + H2Ochromate-yellow -> dichromate-orangeNote:Potassium ions do NOT react, they are tribune-ions
When acidified potassium dichromate is reacted with ethanol, the dichromate ion (Cr2O7^2-) is reduced to chromium(III) ion (Cr^3+). This reaction results in the formation of green chromium(III) sulfate (Cr2(SO4)3), with ethanol being oxidized to acetic acid.
Examples: potassium permanganate, potassium dichromate, oxygen, ozone, nitric acid, sodium hypochlorite, hydrogen peroxide, fluorine, chlorine, potassium perchlorate etc.
to acidify the solution so that it can become a good oxidising agent
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.
