Question

An acidified solution of potassium chromate was layered with an equal volume of amyl alcohol. When it was shaken after the addition of 1 &#160; mL of 3 % &#160; H 2 O 2 , a blue alcohol layer was obtained. The blue color is due to the formation of a chromium (VI) compound ' X ' . What is the number of oxygen atoms bonded to chromium through only single bonds in a molecule of X ?
