JEE Main2016Chemistrys Block ElementsActual
The main oxides formed on combustion of Li, Na and K in excess of air are respectively:
Options
- AL i 2 O 2 , N a 2 O 2 a n d K O 2
- BL i 2 O , N a 2 O 2 a n d K O 2
- CL i 2 O , N a 2 O a n d K O 2
- DL i O 2 , N a 2 O 2 a n d K 2 O
Correct answer
B. L i 2 O , N a 2 O 2 a n d K O 2
Step-by-step solution
In 1A group Li on reaction with excess air 4 L i + O 2 → 2 L i 2 O Na on reaction with excess air 2 N a + O 2 → N a 2 O 2 K on reaction with excess air K + O 2 → K O 2
