Best Answer

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!

No, potassium chromate is not acidic as it is a salt of Strong base(K+ ion) and Strong acid(H2CrO4). So, it is neutral.

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.
