Chromyl Chloride dissolves in \text{NaOH} and imparts yellow colour to the solution owing to the formation of Sodium Chromate

\mathrm{CrO _{2} Cl _{2}+4 NaOH \longrightarrow Na _{2} CrO _{4}+2 NaCl +2 H _{2} O}

Upon acidifying the solution and adding lead acetate, a yellow precipitate of Lead Chromate is obtained. The reaction is given below:

\mathrm{\left( CH _{3} COO \right)_{2} Pb + Na _{2} CrO _{4} \longrightarrow \underset{{Lead Chromate}}{PbCrO _{4}} +2 CH _{3} COONa}

Hence, the correct answer is Option (4)
