Answer:
The color change depends on the changes in the pH of the solution. Dichromate salts contain the dichromate anion, Cr2O72- and chromate salts contain chromate anion, CrO42−. The chromate ion (yellow) is the predominant species in alkaline solutions, dichromate (orange) predominant in acidic solutions.
