HARD
When a mixture of NaCl,K2Cr2O7 and concentrated H2SO4 is heated in a dry test tube, a red vapour X is evolved. This vapour X turns an aqueous solution of NaOH yellow due to the formation of Y. X and Y, respectively, are:

The blue colour produced when a starch solution is added to a solution containing traces of I2 and KI is due to

(I) formation of I3-

(II) formation of an inclusion complex

(III) Oxidation of starch

(IV) Oxidation of I2
