Which of the following is correct statement?
Which of the following is correct statement?
Options
- AAluminium dissolves in dilute mineral acids but is made passive by concentrated nitric acid.
- BAluminium vessel can be used as storage of NaOH .
- CAluminium chloride does not dissociate in water.
- D 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 due to formation of oxide layer. Hence, does not react further but other acids react.
- NaOH reacts with Al as
Thus, NaOH cannot be stored in a vessel made of Al.
- Aluminium chloride dissociate in water.
- is insoluble in anhydrous HF.
Thus, the only correct statement among the given options is (1).
