Testing for dichromate with H2O2

A solution which was not supposed to contain any dichromate but which due to the use of a Chinese "platinized titanium" anode which in reality was stainless steel, ended up containing dichromate. The test was suggested by woelen on the sciencemadness forum. The orange solution is probably water, dilute sulfuric acid, some magnesium and iron ions and of course dichromate. The added drops are 0.3% H2O2. Feel free to use the video for anything you like.
