Assertion : Potassium carbonate can be p...

Assertion : Potassium carbonate can be prepared by Solvay process like sodium carbonate using potassium chloride as starting material.
Reason : Potassium carbonate is obtained as one of the porducts when potassium superoxide reacts with carbon dioxide.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If assertion is false but reason is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
d
`KHCO_(3)` is highly soluble in water so it cannot be separated like `NaHCO_(3)` and thus Solvay process cannot be used.
`2KO_(2)+CO_(2) rarr K_(2)CO_(3)+3/2 O_(2)`
