  2. heating Na2CrO4 solution with KCl solution and then cooling
  3. heating K2CrO4 with sulphuric acid
  4. both A and C

Solution
Verified by Toppr

Potassium dichromate is usually prepared by the reaction of potassium chloride on sodium dichromate.
Na2Cr2O7+2KClK2Cr2O7+2NaCl

It can also be prepared by heating K2CrO4 with H2SO4.
2K2CrO4+2H+K2Cr2O7+2K++H2O

Hence, option D is correct.
