Solution

The correct options are
A

A deep red vapour is evolved


B

The vapour when passed into NaOH solution gives a yellow solution of Na2CrO4


C

Chlorine gas is evolved


D

Chromyl chloride is formed


When a mixture of NaCl is heated with K2Cr2O7 in concentrated H2SO4, red vapour of chromyl chloride (CrO2Cl2) is produced. Vapours of chromyl chloride when passed through NaOH solution turns yellow due to the formation of Na2CrO4. Some chlorine gas is also evolved owing to the following side reaction:
6Cl+Cr2O27+14H+3Cl2(g)+ 2Cr3++7H2O
