Vedclass · Answer

(A) The chromyl chloride test is a qualitative test used to detect the presence of chloride ions $(Cl^-)$ in a sample. In this test,a chloride salt is heated with potassium dichromate $(K_2Cr_2O_7)$ and concentrated sulfuric acid $(H_2SO_4)$. If chloride ions are present,they react to form chromyl chloride $(CrO_2Cl_2)$,which is a deep red vapor. This test is specifically applicable to ionic chlorides. $KCl$ is an ionic chloride and readily gives this test. $PbCl_2$ and $HgCl_2$ are covalent in nature and do not provide the necessary chloride ions in the reaction mixture to form chromyl chloride. Therefore,only $KCl$ gives the chromyl chloride test.

List-$I$ Solid salt treated with dil. $H_2SO_4$	List-$II$ Anion detected
$A.$ Effervescence of colourless gas	$I.$ $NO_2^-$
$B.$ Gas with smell of rotten egg	$II.$ $CO_3^{2-}$
$C.$ Yellowish green gas with pungent and suffocating smell	$III.$ $S^{2-}$
$D.$ Brown fumes	$IV.$ $Cl^{-}$
