Solution

The correct options are
A A deep red vapours is evolved.
B The red vapours when passed into NaOH solution gives a yellow solution of Na2CrO4.
D Chromyl chloride is formed.
When a mixture of NaCl and K2Cr2O7 is gently warmed with conc. H2SO4, the following reaction takes place:

K2Cr2O7+4NaCl+6H2SO42CrO2Cl2+2KHSO4+4NaHSO4+3H2O

Chromyl chloride (CrO2Cl2- deep red vapours) is formed. These vapours when passed into NaOH solution give a yellow solution of Na2CrO4.

The reaction takes place as follows:

CrO2Cl2+2NaOHNa2CrO4+2HCl
