Which of the following is incorrect about sodium carbonate ?A. With hot milk of lime, it reacts to form sodium hydroxideB. It reacts with dilute mineral acids evolving `CO_(2)(g)`C. It undergoes hydrolysis to form an acidic solutionD. None of these |
Answer» Correct Answer - C Being a salt of a strong base (NaOH) and weak acid `(H_(2)CO_(3))`, when dissovled in water, sodium carbonate undergoes hydrolysis to form an alkaline solution. ,brgt `Na_(2)CO_(3)+2H_(2)OhArrH_(2)CO_(3)+2NaOH` or `CO_(3)^(2-)+2H-OHhArrH_(2)CO_(3)+2OH^(-)` ltbr Milk of lime is a suspension o line in water. (1) `Na_(2)CO_(3)+Ca(OH)_(2)toCaCO_(3)darr+2NaOH` (2). `NaCO_(3)+2HCl to 2NaCl+H_(2)O+CO_(3)uarr` |
