The correct answer is:
$\mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{7}$ and $\mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}$
Orange solid is ammonium dichromate.
$\left(\mathrm{NH}_{4}\right)_{2} \mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{7} \stackrel{\Delta}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{N}_{2} \uparrow+\mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}+4 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$
$$
\mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}+2 \mathrm{Al} \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{Cr}+\mathrm{Al}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}
$$
$\left(\mathrm{NH}_{4}\right)_{2} \mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{7} \stackrel{\Delta}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{N}_{2} \uparrow+\mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}+4 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$
$$
\mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}+2 \mathrm{Al} \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{Cr}+\mathrm{Al}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}
$$
