Solution
The correct option is D All of the above are correct. The complete reaction sequence is as follows: FeCr2O4+Na2CO3+O2Fusion−−−−→Na2+VICrO4H+−−→H2ONa2+VICr2O7H+/H2O2−−−−−−→+VICrO(O2)2 (deep blue violet) H2O−−→O2+H2O+Cr3+
Hence, we can see that in all the three compounds, Na2CrO4[X],Na2Cr2O7[Y] and CrO(O)2[Z], chromium is in the +6 oxidation state.
Also, CrO(O)2 is a deep blue-violet coloured compound which decomposes rapidly in aqueous solution into Cr3+ and dioxygen.
Besides, saturated solution of Cr2O2−7 gives bright orange compound, chromic anhydride with concentrated H2SO4.
