Which of the following statements in incorrect?

  • pure sodium metal dissolves in liquid ammonia to give blue solution

  • NaOH reacts with glass to give sodium silicate

  • Aluminium reacts with excess NaOH to give Al(OH)3

  • NaHCO3 on heating gives Na2CO3

Answer

C.

Aluminium reacts with excess NaOH to give Al(OH)3

Aluminium being amphoteric reacts with aqueous alkalies with the evolution of H2 gas.
2 Al (s) + 2NaOH (aq) + 6H2O (l) --> 2Na+[Al(OH)4]- (aq) +3 H2 ↑
