A blue colour is obtained when hydrogen peroxide is added to dichromate or any other Cr(VI) compound. The deep blue colour is due to formation of CrO(O2)2. The blue colour fades away and compound decomposes readily into Cr3+ and O2(g) in aqueous solution. However the peroxo compound can be extracted intoi oxygenated organic solvent e.g, diethyl ether, ethylacetate or 1-pentanol etc. where it remains stable. It is more stable below 273 K. On addition of pyridine to ethereal solution, it forms complex Py.Cro5. Last Activity: 7 Years ago

HELLO THERE! Let’s check out the reaction of hydrogen peroxide with acidified Potassium dichromate: K2Cr2O7 + H2SO4 + 4H2O2 ------> K2SO4 + 2CrO5 + 5H2O The formation of Chromium Pentaoxide leads to the formation of blue colour from orange (as potassium dichromate is orange in colour). Chromium Pentaoxide is blue in colour, so we get a blue colour after the reaction. In the reaction, Hydrogen peroxide acts as an oxidizing agent, because it itself gets reduced, and its oxidation number changes to -2 from -1. THANKS! Last Activity: 7 Years ago

I am not diagnosed with Schizoaffective disorder. I am recently diagnosed with Bipolar 1 disorder (most recent or current manic) along with the symptoms of grandiose delusions (According to the psychiatrist, I believe myself I am God). I am not diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder but I had taken Olanzapine (increased to 5 mg dosage) and this drug is used to treat Schizophrenia but as prescribed by Psychiatrist, I was taking Olanzapine not for Schizoaffective disorder but for Bipolar disorder along with delusions. Another Psychiatrist from Lybrate platform told me that, "you might be suffering from schizoaffective disorder, and it requires immediate action of a doctor. Consult a psychiatrist as soon as possible." So, does this mean that I am diagnosed with Schizoaffective disorder or suffering from Schizoaffective disorder? If I really have Schizoaffective disorder, then who will marry me? It's better to commit Suicide as Schizoaffective disorder is the most critical psychological disorder. Does the psychiatrist indirectly told me that I am having Schizoaffective disorder in the form of Bipolar 1 disorder along with grandiose delusions symptoms?
