B The vapour when passed through NaOH solution, gives a yellow solution
D Chromyl chloride is formed
When a mixture of NaCl and K2Cr2O7 is gently warmed with conc. H2SO4.
(A) A deep red vapour (of chromyl chloride) is evolved.
(B) The vapour when passed through NaOH solution, gives a yellow solution, ude to formation of sodium chromate .
(C) Chlorine gas is not evolved but NaCl is formed.
(D) Chromyl chloride (CrO2Cl2) is formed.
