Correct answer: B

  1. Identify reaction of chromyl chloride with NaOH

Chromyl chloride is CrO2Cl2\mathrm{CrO_2Cl_2}CrO2​Cl2​. On hydrolysis/alkaline treatment, it gives chromate.

Let us balance the reaction:

CrO2Cl2+4NaOH→Na2CrO4+2NaCl+2H2O\mathrm{CrO_2Cl_2 + 4NaOH \rightarrow Na_2CrO_4 + 2NaCl + 2H_2O}CrO2​Cl2​+4NaOH→Na2​CrO4​+2NaCl+2H2​O

Check atoms:

  • Cr: 1=11=11=1
  • Cl: 2=22=22=2
  • Na: 4=2+24=2+24=2+2
  • O: 2+4=62+4=62+4=6 on LHS, 4+2=64+2=64+2=6 on RHS
  • H: 4=44=44=4

So,

A=Na2CrO4A = \mathrm{Na_2CrO_4}A=Na2​CrO4​


  1. Now analyze the second reaction

Given:

A+2HCl+2H2O2→B+3H2OA + 2HCl + 2H_2O_2 \rightarrow B + 3H_2OA+2HCl+2H2​O2​→B+3H2​O

Substitute A=Na2CrO4A = \mathrm{Na_2CrO_4}A=Na2​CrO4​.

First, acidification of chromate gives chromic acid type species, and in presence of hydrogen peroxide, chromium(VI) forms the deep blue peroxide compound CrO5\mathrm{CrO_5}CrO5​.

A standard reaction is:

CrO42−+2H++2H2O2→CrO5+3H2O\mathrm{CrO_4^{2-} + 2H^+ + 2H_2O_2 \rightarrow CrO_5 + 3H_2O}CrO42−​+2H++2H2​O2​→CrO5​+3H2​O

Thus,

B=CrO5B = \mathrm{CrO_5}B=CrO5​


  1. Match with options

We found:

A=Na2CrO4,B=CrO5A = \mathrm{Na_2CrO_4}, \qquad B = \mathrm{CrO_5}A=Na2​CrO4​,B=CrO5​

This matches Option B.


  1. Verification with stored correct answer

Stored correct answer: B

Our derived answer: B

So they agree.
