Question

Why is dichromate a stronger oxidising agent than chromate

Answer 1

Answer:

here's your Answer

Chromate ions are weaker oxidizing agent than dichromate. Thus oxidizing strength of dichromate is reduced in neutral solution. ... Though the dichromate solutions are intensely orange coloured solutions and a single drop of it imparts yellow colour to a colourless solution, it can't be used as a self indicator like KMnO4.
