The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Pick the odd one out," we will analyze the three statements provided about sodium borohydride (NaBH4) and identify which one is incorrect. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze the First Statement:** - The first statement claims that sodium borohydride reacts very slowly with cold water. - This statement is true. Sodium borohydride does indeed react slowly with cold water. 2. **Analyze the Second Statement:** - The second statement claims that sodium borohydride reacts very violently with cold water to produce hydrogen gas (H2). - This statement is false. Sodium borohydride does not react violently with cold water; it reacts slowly instead. 3. **Analyze the Third Statement:** - The third statement mentions that the solubility of sodium borohydride in water is 10.5 g per mL. - This statement is true. The solubility of sodium borohydride in water is indeed around 10.5 g per mL. 4. **Identify the Odd One Out:** - From the analysis, we find that the first and third statements are true, while the second statement is false. - Therefore, the odd one out is the second statement, which incorrectly describes the reaction of sodium borohydride with cold water. ### Final Answer: The odd one out is the second statement: "Sodium borohydride reacts very violently with cold water to produce H2." ---
