Solution

The correct option is D CrO2Cl2, Na2CrO4
It is chromyl chloride test for confirmation of chloride ions.

Mix a little amount of salt and an equal amount of solid potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7) in a test tube and add conc.H2SO4 to it. Heat the test tube and pass the evolved gas through sodium hydroxide solution. If a yellow solution is obtained, divide the solution into two parts. Acidify the first part with acetic acid and then add lead acetate solution. Formation of a yellow precipitate of lead chromate confirms the presence of chloride ions in the salt. This test is called chromyl chloride test.

4KCl+K2Cr2O7+6H2SO4 2KHSO4 + 2CrO2Cl2(chromylchloride)+ 4NaHSO4+3H2O

CrO2Cl2+4NaOHNa2CrO4+2NaCl+2H2O

Option (D) is correct.

(X) and (Y) are CrO2Cl2 and Na2CrO4.
