KCET2016ChemistryGeneral Principles and Processes of Isolation of Metals
The complex formed when ( Al ₂ O ₃ ) is leached from Bauxite using concentrated ( NaOH ) solution is,
Options
- A( N a [A l(O H)₄ ] )
- B( NaAl ₂ O ₄ )
- C( Na ₂ [ Al ( OH )₃ ] )
- D( Na ₂ AlO ₂ )
Correct answer
A. ( N a [A l(O H)₄ ] )
Step-by-step solution
When ( Al ₂ O ₃ ) is leached from bauxite using concentrated ( NaOH ) solution, the complex formed is ( Na [ Al ( OH )₄ ] ) The reaction involved in leaching from bauxite ore is, ( Al ₂ O ₃ 2 H ₂ O +2 NaOH +3 H ₂ O - ^ 473-523 k -> Na [ Al ( OH )₄ ] )
