Question

Which of the following statement is true.
A) Elemental sodium can be prepared and isolated by electrolyzing an aqueous solution of
sodium chloride
B) Elemental sodium is a strong oxidizing agent
C) Elemental sodium is insoluble in ammonia
D) Elemental sodium is easily oxidized​

Answer 1

Answer:

Elemental Sodium can be prepared and isolated by electrolysing a molten NaCl.

Since, Sodium has a high tendency to loose electron. So, it is easily oxidised and hence, it is a strong reducing agent.

As, Sodium has a high tendency to loose electron and Ammonia has a high tendency to gain electron. Hence, it is soluble in Ammonia.

Hence, Option "D" is the correct answer.
