Which is industrially prepared by the electrolysis of aqueous NaCl?

1. Na₂CO₃

2. NaHCO₃

3. NaOH

The products of the electrolysis of aqueous solution of common salt are:

1. Na + Cl₂

2. H₂ + O₂

3. NaOH + H₂ + Cl₂

4. NaOH + Cl₂ + O₂

Sodium cannot be extracted by the electrolysis of brine solution because:

1. sodium leberated reacts with water to produce NaOH+H₂

2. sodium being more electropositive than hydrogen, H₂ is liberated at cathod and not sodium

3. electrolysis cannot take place with brine solution

4. none of the above

KO₂ is used in oxygen cylinder in space air craft and submarines because it:

1. absorbs CO₂ and increase O₂ content

2. eliminate moisture

3. absorbs CO₂

4. produces O₂

Tin dissolves in boiling caustic soda solution because of the formation of soluble:

1. Sn(OH)₂

2. Sn(OH)₄

3. Na₂SnO₃

4. none of these

Potash alum is used in purification of water because:

1. it kills the micro-organisms

2. it precipitates the colloidal matter

3. it removes the hardness of water

4. it catalyses the removal of impurities
