### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Chromyl Chloride Test**: - The chromyl chloride test is a qualitative analysis method used to detect chloride ions (Cl⁻) in a sample. - In this test, potassium dichromate (K₂Cr₂O₇) is used in the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄). 2. **Reaction Mechanism**: - When chloride ions are present, they react with potassium dichromate and concentrated sulfuric acid to produce chromyl chloride (CrO₂Cl₂) as an orange-red vapor. ...
