Q29 / 91 · KVPY 2020 (SB/SX) · Chemistry

When a mixture of NaCl,K2Cr2O7 and conc. H2SO4 is heated in a dry test tube, a red vapor X is evolved. This vapor X turns an aqueous solution of NaOH yellow due to the formation of Y. X and Y, respectively, are:

  • A
    CrCl3 and Na2Cr2O7
  • B
    CrCl3 and Na2CrO4
  • Correct answer
    C
    CrO2Cl2 and Na2CrO4
  • D
    Cr2SO43 and Na2Cr2O7

Solution

4NaCl+K2Cr2O7+6H2SO4→4NaHSO4+2KHSO4+2CrO2Cl2(X)+6H2O

CrO2Cl2+4NaOH⟶Na2CrO4(Y)+2NaCl+2H2O

X=CrO2Cl2

Y=Na2CrO4

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
