ABy the action of concentrated sulphuric acid
Correct Answer
BBy roasting with soda ash
CBy the action of sodium hydroxide
DBy the action of lime stone

Solution

In the manufacture of potassium dichromate from chromite ore, sodium chromate is converted into sodium dichromate by the action of concentrated sulphuric acid.
$$\displaystyle 2Na_2CrO_4 + H_2SO_4 \rightarrow Na_2Cr_2O_7 + Na_2SO_4 + H_2O$$
