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

The pair of compounds which cannot exist together in solution is:

The byproduct of the Solvay process is:

1. CO₂

2. NH₃

3. CaCl₂

LiAlH₄ is obtained by reacting an excess of ...... with an etheral solution of AlCl₃.

1. LiCl

2. LiH

3. Li

4. LiOH

Manufacture of NaOH is done by:

1. Castner - Kellner process

2. Solvay process

3. Brine process

4. Mond's process

Sodium does not form Na²⁺ ,because:

1. Sodium contains only one electron in its outermost shell

2. First ionization potential is small and the difference in first and second ionization potential is very large.

3. Radius of Na⁺² is much smaller than of Na⁺

4. None of the above.
