When CO ₂ is passed through solution of sodium aluminate, precipitate of which compound is formed?
Options
- AAl ( OH )₃
- BAl ₂ O ₃
- CNa ₂ CO ₃
- DNo ppt.
Correct answer
A. Al ( OH )₃
Step-by-step solution
(a) : In Hall's process, for purifying the bauxite ore, the solution containing sodium meta aluminate is warmed to 50-60^ C and carbon dioxide is circulated through it, Al ( OH )₃ separates out as precipitate. 2 NaAlO ₂+ CO ₂+3 H ₂ O 2 Al ( OH )₃+ Na ₂ CO ₃
