Answer given by Srijan r correct.
The reaction is
Cr2O3 (fusion with alkali) ---> CrO42- (on acidification) --->Cr2O72- +NH4Cl ---> (NH4)2Cr2O7 (on heating)--> Cr2O3
The chemical reactions r
2Cr2O3 + 8OH- + 3O2 --> 4CrO42- + 4H2O
2CrO42- + H2SO4 --> Cr2O72- + SO42- + H2O
Cr 2O72- + 2NH4Cl --> (NH4)2Cr2O7 +2Cl-
(NH4)2Cr2O7 (on heating) --> Cr2O3 + N2 +4H2O
