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+6H2SO4→2CrO2Cl2+2KHSO4+4NaHSO4+3H2O
Chromyl chloride (CrO2Cl2- deep red vapours) is formed. These vapours when passed into NaOH solution give a yellow solution of Na2CrO4.
