Which of the following is correct statement?

Which of the following is correct statement?

Options

  1. AAluminium dissolves in dilute mineral acids but is made passive by concentrated nitric acid.
  2. BAluminium vessel can be used as storage of NaOH .
  3. CAluminium chloride does not dissociate in water.
  4. DAlF3\mathrm{AlF}_3 is soluble in anhydrous HF .

Correct answer

A. Aluminium dissolves in dilute mineral acids but is made passive by concentrated nitric acid.

Step-by-step solution

- Aluminium is made passive by HNO3\mathrm{HNO}_3 due to formation of oxide layer. Hence, HNO3\mathrm{HNO}_3 does not react further but other acids react. 2Al+6HCl⟶2AlCl3+3H22Al+3H2SO4⟶Al2(SO4)3+3H2\begin{gathered}2 \mathrm{Al}+6 \mathrm{HCl} \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{AlCl}_3+3 \mathrm{H}_2 \\ 2 \mathrm{Al}+3 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4 \longrightarrow \mathrm{Al}_2\left(\mathrm{SO}_4\right)_3+3 \mathrm{H}_2\end{gathered} - NaOH reacts with Al as 2NaOH+2Al⟶2NaAlO2+3H2+2H2O2 \mathrm{NaOH}+2 \mathrm{Al} \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{NaAlO}_2+3 \mathrm{H}_2+2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} Thus, NaOH cannot be stored in a vessel made of Al. - Aluminium chloride dissociate in water. - AlF3\mathrm{AlF}_3 is insoluble in anhydrous HF. Thus, the only correct statement among the given options is (1).
