Potassium dichromate is prepared from:

Achromate obtained by the fusion of chromite ore with sodium carbonate in free access of air
Correct Answer
Bpyrolusite which is fused with potassium hydroxide in the presence of air
Ciron pyrites by the fusion with potassium carbonate in presence of moisture
Dnone of these

Solution

The potassium chromate can be prepared by chromate ore $$FeCr_2O_4$$.
The various reactions given are:
(i)4$$FeCr_2O_4$$ + 4$$Na_2CO_3$$ +9$$O_2$$ $$\rightarrow$$ $$8NaCrO_4$$ +$$2Fe_2O_3$$ +$$4CO_2$$ (chromite ore).
(ii)$$2Na_2CrO_4$$ +$$H_2SO_4$$ $$\rightarrow$$ $$Na_2Cr_2O_7$$ +$$Na_2SO_4$$ +$$H_2O$$
(iii) $$2Na_2Cr_2O_7$$ +$$2KCl$$ $$\rightarrow$$ $$2K_2Cr_2O_7$$ +$$2NaCl$$
