SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on the colors of chromium in solution across various oxidation states, specifically highlighting the chromic acid test commonly referenced in organic chemistry. Chromium exhibits distinct colors depending on its oxidation state, with Cr(III) typically appearing green and Cr(VI) presenting a yellow-orange hue. The chromic acid test is a critical method for identifying alcohols and aldehydes in organic chemistry, utilizing these color changes as indicators.
