Solution:

(i) $$ \begin{aligned} \mathrm{K}_2 \mathrm{Cr}_2 \mathrm{O}_7+4 \mathrm{NaCl}+6 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4 \longrightarrow & 2 \mathrm{CrO}_2 \mathrm{Cl}_2 \\

  • & 4 \mathrm{NaHSO}_4+3 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}+2 \mathrm{KHSO}_4 \end{aligned} $$

(ii) $$ \begin{aligned} 2 \mathrm{KMnO}_4+3 \mathrm{MnSO}_4+2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \longrightarrow & 5 \mathrm{MnO}_2 \\

  • & \mathrm{K}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4+2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4 \end{aligned} $$
