Question

Identify the incorrect statement among the following.
(a) Br₂ reacts with hot and strong NaOH solution to give NaBr and H₂O.
(b) Ozone reacts with SO₂ to give SO₃.
(c) Silicon reacts with NaOH (aq) in the presence of air to give Na₂ SiO₃ and H₂O.
(d) Cl₂ reacts with excess of NH₃ to give N₂ and HCl.

Answer 1

(d) : 3Br₂ + 6NaOH → 5NaBr + NaBrO₃ + 3H₂O
O₃ + SO₂ → O₂ + SO₃
Si + 2NaOH + O₂ → Na₂ SiO₃ + H₂O
Cl₂ reacts with excess of ammonia to produce ammonium chloride and nitrogen.
