Orange-red vapours from the chromyl chloride test are passed into aqueous NaOH to give a yellow solution. The solution is acidified with acetic acid and lead acetate solution is added. The yellow precipitate is:
APbCrX2OX7
BPbOX2
CPbCrOX4
DPbClX2
Answer: C
CrOX2ClX2+4NaOHNaX2CrOX4+2NaCl+2HX2O gives yellow chromate, and NaX2CrOX4+Pb(CHX3COO)X2PbCrOX4+2CHX3COONa gives yellow lead chromate. PbClX2 is white and PbCrX2OX7 is not formed.
