NEETChemistryGeneral Principles and Processes of Isolation of Metals
Which of the following equations correctly represents a step in the Bayer's Process for extracting alumina from bauxite ores associated with silica?( in the above question )
Options
- AAl 2 O 3 + 2NaOH + 3H 2 O → 2Na[Al(OH) 4 ]
- BSiO 2 + 2NaOH → Na 2 [Si(OH) 6 ]
- C2Na[Al(OH) 4 ] - (heat) → Al 2 O 3 + 2NaOH + 3H 2 O
- DNa 2 [Si(OH) 6 ] - (heat) → SiO 2 + 2NaOH + 3H 2 O
Correct answer
C. 2Na[Al(OH) 4 ] - (heat) → Al 2 O 3 + 2NaOH + 3H 2 O
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (C) 2Na[Al(OH) 4 ] - (heat) → Al 2 O 3 + 2NaOH + 3H 2 O
