The oxidising agent used:
a.
Acidified potassium dichromate(VI)
b.
Acidified potassium manganate (VII)

Observation:
a.
For acidified potassium dichromate(VI), if oxidation occurs, the
orange solution containing the dichromate(VI) ions is reduced to a
green solution containing chromium(III) ions.
b.
For acidified potassium manganate (VII), the purple colour of
potassium manganate (VII) decolourised.
