  • question_answer
      The main oxides formed on combustion of \[Li,\text{ }Na\] and K in excess of air are, respectively:

    A) \[L{{i}_{2}}{{O}_{2}},N{{a}_{2}}{{O}_{2}}\] and \[K{{O}_{2}}\]

    B) \[L{{i}_{2}}O,N{{a}_{2}}{{O}_{2}}\]and \[K{{O}_{2}}\]

    C) \[L{{i}_{2}}O,N{{a}_{2}}O\] and \[K{{O}_{2}}\]

    D) \[Li{{O}_{2}},N{{a}_{2}}{{O}_{2}}\]and \[{{K}_{2}}O\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] On heating with excess of air \[Li,\text{ }Na\]and \[K\]forms following oxides \[4Li+{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}\underset{Lithium\,\,monoxide}{\mathop{2L{{i}_{2}}O}}\,\] \[4Na+{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow{575K}\underset{Sodium\text{ }peroxide}{\mathop{N{{a}_{2}}{{O}_{2}}}}\,\] \[K+{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}\underset{~Potassium\text{ }superoxide}{\mathop{K{{O}_{2}}}}\,\]
