Cr2O7^2 - (aq) + 14H+double arrow2Cr^3 + (aq) + 6e

Explanation:

From the equation, it is evident that the equilibrium between dichromate ions depends on the pH. Low pH favours the formation of the dichromate ion this the solution appears orange. At higher pH, the equilibrium shifts towards the formation of the chromate ion this the solution appears yellow.
