2Cr(OH)3 + 3Na2O2 → A–– + 2NaOH + 2H2O A is.
[Na2O2 + H2O → 2 NaOH + O] × 3
2Cr(OH)3 + 4 NaOH + 3O → 2Na2CrO4 + 5H2O
By adding the above two equations we get
2Cr(OH)3 + 3Na2O2 → 2Na2CrO4 + 2NaOH + 2H2O
Na2O2 acts as a powerful oxidizing agent.
What is the mechanism of following reactions in the preparation of hydrogen:
Zn+2NaOH=Na2ZnO2 +H2
2Al+2NaOH+2H2O=2NaAlO2 +3H2
Sn+2NaOH+H2O=Na2ZnO3+ 2H2
