    Which of the following statements are incorrect?
    I. Reactivity of Al decreases if it is dipped in nitric acid.
    II. Carbon can reduce the oxides of Na and \[Mg\].
    III. \[NaCl\] is a good conductor of electricity in solid state.
    IV. Metals like \[K,\,Ca\] and \[Mg\] are always found in free state in nature.
     

    A) I, II and III only

    B) II, III and IV only

    C) I and III only

    D) II and III only

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Al becomes passive if it is dipped in nitric acid due to formation of a protective layer of aluminium oxide. Carbon cannot reduce the oxides of Na or Mg. \[NaCl\] is a good conductor of electricity in molten state or in aqueous solution. Metals like K, Ca and Mg are highly reactive and are never found in free state in nature.
