Which excess of `NaOH` solution is added in potash alum the product is.A. A bluish precipitateB. Clear solutionC. White precipitateD. Greenish precipitate

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Potash alum is `K_(2)SO_(4).Al_(2)(SO_(4))_(3).24 H_(2) O`.
`Al_(2)(SO_(4))_(3)` reacts with `NaOH` to form `NaAlO_(2)` which is soluble. `K_(2)SO_(4)` and `Na_(2)SO_(4)` are also soluble and thus a clear solution is obtained in water.
`Al_(2)(SO_(4))_(3) +6NaOH rarr 2Al(OH)_(3) +3 Na_(2)SO_(4)`
`Al(OH)_(3) +NaOH rarr underset("Soluble")(NaAlO_(2)) + 2H_(2)O`.
