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.H2SO4andK2Cr2O7.
Passing the chromyl chloride gas through NaOH turns the solution yellow. This is due to the formation of Na2CrO4 .
The reactions are, 4NaCl+K2Cr2O7+6H2SO4→2CrO2Cl2Chromylchloride+4NaHSO4+2KHSO4+3H2O
