Question

In the leaching method, bauxite ore is digested with a concentrated solution of NaOH that produces 'X'. When $C O_{2}$ gas is passed through the aqueous solution of 'X', a hydrated compound 'Y' is precipitated.
'X' and 'Y' respectively are:

A

N a [A l (O H)_{4}]

and

A l_{2} (C O_{3})_{3} \cdot x H_{2} O

Solution

The correct option is D $N a [A l (O H)_{4}]$ and $A l_{2} O_{3} \cdot x H_{2} O$
In the leaching method, bauxite ore is digested with a concentrated solution of NaOH that produces 'X'.

When $C O_{2}$ gas is passed through the aqueous solution of 'X', a hydrated compound 'Y' is precipitated.

'X' and 'Y' are $N a [A l (O H)_{4}]$ and $A l_{2} O_{3} \cdot x H_{2} O$ respectively.

Hence, the correct option is $D$ .
