Solution

The correct option is D Chromyl chloride is formed
Cl ion is confirmed by chromyl chloride test.
Chromyl chloride is produced as deep red vapour when a chloride ion reacts with conc.H2SO4 and K2Cr2O7.
Passing the chromyl chloride gas through NaOH turns the solution yellow. This is due to the formation of Na2CrO4 .
The reactions are,
4NaCl+K2Cr2O7+6H2SO42CrO2Cl2Chromyl chloride+4NaHSO4+2KHSO4+3H2O

2CrO2Cl2+4NaOHNa2CrO4Sodium chromate (yellow solution)+2NaCl+2H2O
