preparation

Multiple Choice Options

  • A (I)-(B), (II)-(C), (III)-(D), (IV)-(A)
  • B (I)-(B), (II)-(D), (III)-(A), (IV)-(C)
  • C (I)-(C), (II)-(D), (III)-(B), (IV)-(A)
  • D (I)-(D), (II)-(A), (III)-(C), (IV)-(B)

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

(I) Ca(OH)2 is used in white wash due to its disinfectant nature.

(II) NaCl is used in preparation of washing soda(Na2CO3).
(1) 2NH3 + H2O + CO2 → (NH4 )2CO3
(2) (NH4 )2CO3 + H2O + CO2 → 2NH4HCO3
(3) NH4HCO3 + NaCl → NH4Cl + NaHCO3
(4) 2NaHCO3 → Na2CO3 + CO2 + H2O

(III) CaSO4.12H2O (Plaster of Paris) Used for making casts of statues.

(IV) CaCO3 is used as an Antacid.
