Most Important Selected Qs for JEE AdvancedChemistryd and f Block Elements
Which of the following statement(s) is (are) correct when a mixture of NaCl and K ₂ Cr ₂ O ₇ is gently warmed with conc. H ₂ SO ₄ ?
Options
- AA deep red vapour is evolved
- BThe vapour when passed through NaOH solution, gives a yellow solution
- CChiorine gas is also evolved
- DChromyl chioride is formed
Correct answer
D. Chromyl chioride is formed
Step-by-step solution
(A) When NaCl and K ₂ Cr ₂ O ₇ warmed with H ₂ SO ₄ (i.e. in acidic medium), they produce deep red vapours of chromyl chloride ( CrO ₂ Cl ₂ ) (B) When NaOH is passod, the product CrO₃ , formed In step (a) will react with NaOH and gives yellow colour solution (C) Chlorine gas is not evolved, thus false (D) In the given reaction, chromyl chloride ( CrO ₂ Cl ₂ ) is formed. All reactions are as follows (i) K ₂ Cr ₂ O ₇+2 H ₂ SO ₄ 2 KHSO ₄+2 CrO ₃+ H ₂ O (ii) NaCl + H ₂ SO ₄ NaHSO ₄+ HCl (iii) CrO ₃+2 HCl CrO ₂ Cl ₂ (iv
