Detailed Solution

CrO4- is a yellow color and in acidic medium, it forms orange color solution due to the formation of Cr2O72-. This implies that the reaction takes place at pH lower than 7.

2CrO42-+2H+Cr2O72-+H2O

The above reaction reversed in the basic medium where pH is greater than 7.

 Cr2O72-+2OH-2CrO42-+H2O

Therefore, X is 6 and Y is 8.
