Which of the following is a product of first step and is used as reactant in next step for manufacture of $\mathrm{K}_{2} \mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{7}$ from concentrated chromite ore ?
  1. Sodium dichromate
  2. Potassium chromate
  3. Sodium sulphate
  4. Sodium chromate

Solution

(1) Conversion of chromite ore into sodium chromate (2) Conversion of sodium chromate into sodium dichromate (3) Conversion of sodium dicbromate to potassium dichromate $\underset{\text { Sod. dichromate }}{\mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{7}}+2 \mathrm{KCl} \longrightarrow \underset{\text { Pot. dicbromate }}{\mathrm{K}_{2} \mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{7}}+2 \mathrm{NaCl}$
