Solution
The correct options are A Deep red vapors are evolved. B The vapors when passed into NaOH solution give a yellow solution of Na2CrO4. D Chromyl chloride is formed. The following reaction takes place:
K2Cr2O7+6H2O+4NaCl→2KHSO4+4NaHSO4+2CrO2Cl2+3H2O
Red vapors are due to CrO2Cl2 When these vapors are passed through NaOH, a yellow solution of Na2CrO4 is produced.
