  • question_answer
    Which of the following statement(s) is (are) correct when a mixture of \[NaCl\] and \[{{K}_{2}}C{{r}_{2}}{{O}_{7}}\] is gently warmed with conc. \[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\] [IIT 1998; CPMT 1988; AMU 1984; MP PMT 2002]

    A) A deep red vapour is evolved

    B) The vapour when passed into \[NaOh\] solution gives a yellow solution of \[N{{a}_{2}}Cr{{O}_{4}}\]

    C) Chlorine gas is evolved

    D) Chromyl chloride is formed

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

      Chromyl chloride test \[4NaCl+{{K}_{2}}C{{r}_{2}}{{O}_{7}}+3{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\xrightarrow{\text{heat}}\]\[{{K}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}+2N{{a}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}+\underset{\text{chromyl chloride (orange }\,\text{red)}\,\,\,}{\mathop{2Cr{{O}_{2}}C{{l}_{2}}+3{{H}_{2}}O\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,}}\,\] \[4NaOH+Cr{{O}_{2}}C{{l}_{2}}\to \underset{\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\text{Sod}\text{. chromate }\,\text{(Yellow)}}{\mathop{2NaCl\ +N{{a}_{2}}Cr{{O}_{4}}+2{{H}_{2}}O}}\,\] \[N{{a}_{2}}Cr{{O}_{4}}+\ {{(C{{H}_{3}}COO)}_{2}}Pb\to 2C{{H}_{3}}COONa+\]\[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\text{Lead chromate} \\  \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\text{(yellow ppt}\text{.)} \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{\,\,\,\,\,\,PbCr{{O}_{4}}\downarrow }}\,\]
