Detailed Solution

When combined with alkali, CrH2O63+(aq) transforms from its original blue-violet colour to a dark green precipitate called Cr(OH)3(s). Precipitate dissolves when there is too much alkali, releasing an aqueous Cr(OH)63(aq) complex that is green in colour. This hydroxide,Cr(OH)3, is an amphoteric substance.

So,statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True, Statement-2 is NOT a correct explanation for Statement-1.

Hence, option B is correct.
