A
In less acidic solution K2Cr2O7 and H2O2 gives violet coloured diamagnetic [CrO(O2)(OH)]– ion.
B
In alkaline H2O2, K2CrO8 (with tetraperoxo species [Cr(O2)4]3–) is formed with K2Cr2O7.
C
In ammonical solution of H2O2, (NH3)3CrO4 is formed with K2Cr2O7.
D
CrO42– changes to Cr2O72– by oxidation.

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
A

(a, b, c)

Acidified K2Cr2O7 solution reacts with H2O2 to give a deep blue solution due to the formation of CrO5.

Cr2O72– + 2H+ + 4H2O2 2CrO5 + 5H2O

In alkaline medium with 30% H2O2, a red-brown K2CrO8 (diperoxo) is formed. It is tetra peroxo species [Cr(O2)4]3– and thus the Cr is in +V oxidation state.

In ammoniacal solution a dark red-brown compound, (NH3)3CrO4 - diperoxo compound with Cr(IV) is formed.

In CrO42– the Cr is in its highest +6 oxidation state. So it can not be further oxidised.
