**Question 4:**What color would I expect a solution of dichromate ions to be after I add an excess of base? Briefly explain.---**Explanation:**When an excess of base is added to a solution containing dichromate ions, the dichromate (\( \text{Cr}_2\text{O}_7^{2-} \)) ions convert to chromate (\( \text{CrO}_4^{2-} \)) ions. This is due to the increase in pH, which favors the chromate ion form. The color of the solution changes from orange (dichromate) to yellow (chromate). This color change is a classic demonstration of the equilibrium:\[ \text{Cr}_2\text{O}_7^{2-} + \text{OH}^- \rightleftharpoons 2\text{CrO}_4^{2-} + \text{H}_2\text{O} \]Thus, in an alkaline medium, one should expect the solution to be yellow.

Question 9 Which is NOT TRUE about performing a BLANK titration? Choose the best answer. It involves titration of unreacted standard solution which has been added in excess to a sample. It involves titration of a solution that is without the analyte. It involves titration carried out on a solution different from the sample solution. O It involves a titration done in the absence of an analyte to correct for possible sources of error.
