D Correct answer
Explanation

Aluminium hydroxide reacts with sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide to form the corresponding aluminate. Both Al(OH)3 + NaOH -> NaAlO2 + 2H2O and Al(OH)3 + KOH -> KAlO2 + 2H2O are valid representations of this reaction.

Chromium hydroxide on reaction with excess $\displaystyle NaOH$ gives a soluble compound. Guess the molecular formula.

  1. $\displaystyle \left[ { Cr\left( OH \right) } _{ 3 } \right] $
  2. $\displaystyle { \left[ { Cr\left( OH \right) } _{ 4 } \right] }^{ - }$
  3. $\displaystyle { \left[ { Cr\left( OH \right) } _{ 5 } \right] }^{ 2- }$
  4. $\displaystyle { \left[ { Cr\left( OH \right) } _{ 6 } \right] }^{ 3- }$

D Correct answer
Explanation

An excess of sodium hydroxide solution is added to a solution of the hexaaquachromium(III) ions to produce a solution of green hexahydroxochromate(III) ions.

$[Cr(H _2O) _6]^{3+} \xrightarrow{NaOH} [Cr(H _2O) _3(OH) _3] \xrightarrow{excess NaOH} [Cr(OH) _6]^{-3}$
