From orange to (yellowish) green: It is a powerfull oxidant, used to titrate Fe2+ from Mohr's salt to the oxidised form Fe3+ by the following:
Cr2O72−(aq) + 14H+ + 6e− → 2Cr3+(aq) + 7H2O
Yes, carbon dioxide gas will change acidified potassium dichromate solution from orange to green due to the reduction of the dichromate ion to chromium (III) ions in the presence of reducing agents like carbon dioxide.
The gram equivalent weight of potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7) is calculated as the molar mass divided by the change in oxidation state per mole of electrons involved in the reaction. For potassium dichromate, since the change in oxidation state is 6 (from Cr6+ to Cr3+), the gram equivalent weight is molar mass of K2Cr2O7 divided by 6.
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.
Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is used in the titration of Mohr's salt and potassium dichromate because it reacts with Mohr's salt to form ferric chloride and with potassium dichromate to form chromium chloride. These reactions result in the formation of a color change in the solution which allows for the end point of the titration to be easily detected.
Thiosulfate can be standardised by adding excess potassium iodide solution to a known volume of a standard acidified solution of potassium dichromate, and then titrating the liberated iodine against the sodium thiosulfate solution.http://www.meduniv.lviv.ua/files/kafedry/tokshim/English/Analytical/Manuals_Analytchem/Iodometry.pdf
Potassium dichromate is orange and when it reacts with ethanol which is a primary alcohol it is going to oxidise it to form aldehyde which is colorless. so the color change is from Orange to Colorless. :)

Dichromatometry is a kind of titration used in analytical chemistry, where Potassium Dichromate (K2Cr2O7), a primary standard substance solution is used for estimation of mainly metal ions, like Fe+2 etc. As dichromate is used as the titrating substance, the name dichromatometry. Mainly BDS (Barium Diphenylamine Sulphonate) indicator is used in this kind of titration.
The chromium in dichromate (Cr2O72-) is reduced from chromium(vi) to chromium(iii) (Cr3+). The former is lemon orange and the latter is green. It's a redox reaction so yuo'll need an reductant to perform this reaction.
When carbon dioxide reacts with potassium dichromate in an acidic solution, a color change from orange to green occurs due to the reduction of chromium(VI) to chromium(III) ions. The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is 3CO2 + Cr2O7^2- + 8H^+ -> 3CO2 + 2Cr^3+ + 4H2O.
Heating ammonium dichromate is a chemical change because it results in a new substance being formed - typically chromium(III) oxide, nitrogen gas, and water vapor. This change is irreversible and involves the breaking and forming of chemical bonds.
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.
by the burning of ammomium dichromate it gave a dark green colour
