The correct Answer is:
To determine the incorrect statement among the given options, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step 1: Analyze the statement about NaHCO3 and KHCO3 - **Statement**: NaHCO3 and KHCO3 have the same crystal structure. - **Analysis**: Sodium hydrogen carbonate (NaHCO3) forms a long chain structure, while potassium hydrogen carbonate (KHCO3) forms a dimer structure. Therefore, they do not have the same crystal structure. - **Conclusion**: This statement is incorrect. ### Step 2: Analyze the statement about LiNO3 decomposition - **Statement**: On heating, LiNO3 decomposes into Li2O and NO2. - **Analysis**: The decomposition of lithium nitrate (LiNO3) on heating does indeed yield lithium oxide (Li2O), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and oxygen (O2) as products. Thus, this statement is correct. - **Conclusion**: This statement is correct. ### Step 3: Analyze the statement about alkali metals imparting red color flame - **Statement**: Among alkali metals, lithium imparts a red color flame. - **Analysis**: Lithium does impart a red color flame due to the excitation of its electrons. The electronic configuration of lithium allows for this color emission when heated. Therefore, this statement is correct. - **Conclusion**: This statement is correct. ### Step 4: Analyze the statement about Li2SO4 and alum formation - **Statement**: Li2SO4 does not form alum. - **Analysis**: Lithium sulfate (Li2SO4) does not form alum because lithium has a very small ionic size, which prevents it from fitting into the structure of alum (double salts). Therefore, this statement is correct. - **Conclusion**: This statement is correct. ### Final Conclusion The only incorrect statement is that NaHCO3 and KHCO3 have the same crystal structure. ### Summary: - **Incorrect Statement**: NaHCO3 and KHCO3 have the same crystal structure. ---
