Silica dissolves in NaOH solution to form:
Silica dissolves in NaOH solution to form:
- A. quartz
- B. sodium silicate
- C. carborundum
- D. jaspar
Step-by-step solution
Silica (SiO2) reacts with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to produce sodium silicate (Na2SiO3) and water. This is a classic acid-base reaction where silica acts as an acidic oxide. Quartz, carborundum, and jaspar are other forms or compounds of silicon, but not the product of this reaction.
