Aluminium - class-X
Which of the following statement is incorrect?
Sodium aluminate is also formed by the action of sodium hydroxide
on elemental aluminium which is an amphoteric metal. The reaction is
highly exothermic once established and is accompanied by the rapid
evolution of hydrogen gas. The reaction is written as:
$2Al+2NaOH+{ 2H } _{ 2 }O\longrightarrow 2NaAlO _{ 2 }+3{ H }$
$2NaHCO _{ 3 (S) }\longrightarrow N{ a } _{ 2 }CO _{ 3 (S) }+CO _{ 2 (g) }+{ H } _{ 2 }O _{ (l) }$ This statment is correct.
By the reaction of sodium with liquid ammonia sodium ammide can be prepared.Sodium (alkali metal)dissolves in liquid ammoia solution to form a blue solution characteristic of a solvated electron in liquid ammonia, which is conducting in nature, due to ammoniated electrons (solvated electron).
This statment is correct.
Sodium silicate liquid can also be prepared directly by dissolving
silica sand under pressure in a heated aqueous solution of caustic soda
(sodium hydroxide, NaOH):
$2NaOH+{ SiO } _{ 2 }\longrightarrow Na _{ 2 }O.{ SiO } _{ 2 }+{ H } _{ 2 }O$
This statment is correct.
