The document discusses sodium dichromate and potassium chloride. Sodium dichromate is prepared from chromium oxide ores by fusing with sodium carbonate at high temperatures. This produces sodium chromate which is then acidified to form sodium dichromate crystals. Potassium chloride occurs naturally and can be prepared by neutralizing potassium hydroxide with hydrochloric acid or burning potassium in chlorine gas. Both salts have medical uses, with sodium chloride used to treat dehydration and swelling, and potassium chloride used as a potassium supplement.
