Which of the statements is NOT true?

  1. A
    solution becomes yellow on increasing the pH beyond 7
  2. B
    On passing through acidified solution, a milky colour is observed
  3. C
    is preferred over in volumetric analysis
  4. D
    solution in acidic medium is orange

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

1. Correct: Dichromate (, orange) converts to chromate (, yellow) in alkaline medium ().2. Correct: Acidified dichromate oxidizes to colloidal Sulphur, which gives a milky appearance.3. Incorrect: is hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from air), making it difficult to weigh accurately for standard solutions. is preferred in volumetric analysis because it is not hygroscopic and is a primary standard.4. Correct: Standard color of dichromate in acid.
