  1. A A deep red vapour is evolved
  2. B The vapour when passed through NaOH solution, gives a yellow solution
  3. C Chiorine gas is also evolved
  4. D Chromyl chioride is formed
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Chromyl chioride is formed

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(A) When \(\mathrm{NaCl}\) and \(\mathrm{K}_{2} \mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{7}\) warmed with \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}\) (i.e. in acidic medium), they produce deep red vapours of chromyl chloride \(\left(\mathrm{CrO}_{2} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}\right)\) (B) When NaOH is passod,…
