The correct Answer is:
To determine which pairs of compounds cannot exist together in aqueous solution, we need to analyze the reactions that occur between the compounds in each pair.
### Step-by-Step Solution:
1. **Identify the Compounds in Each Pair:**
- Pair I: `NaH₂PO₄` (sodium dihydrogen phosphate) and `Na₂HCO₃` (sodium bicarbonate)
- Pair II: `Na₂CO₃` (sodium carbonate) and `NaOH` (sodium hydroxide)
- Pair III: `NaOH` and `NaH₂PO₄`
- Pair IV: `NaHCO₃` and `NaOH`
2. **Analyze Pair I: `NaH₂PO₄` and `Na₂HCO₃`:**
- Sodium dihydrogen phosphate can react with sodium bicarbonate. The reaction can lead to the formation of sodium carbonate and water. Therefore, these two compounds can react with each other.
3. **Analyze Pair II: `Na₂CO₃` and `NaOH`:**
- Sodium carbonate is a basic salt and sodium hydroxide is a strong base. They do not react in a way that would prevent them from existing together in solution. Thus, this pair can coexist.
4. **Analyze Pair III: `NaOH` and `NaH₂PO₄`:**
- Sodium hydroxide (a strong base) can react with sodium dihydrogen phosphate (an acid) to form sodium phosphate and water. This means they cannot exist together in solution.
5. **Analyze Pair IV: `NaHCO₃` and `NaOH`:**
- Sodium bicarbonate (a weak acid) can react with sodium hydroxide (a strong base) to form sodium carbonate and water. Hence, this pair also cannot coexist in solution.
6. **Conclusion:**
- The pairs that cannot exist together in aqueous solution are:
- Pair III: `NaOH` and `NaH₂PO₄`
- Pair IV: `NaHCO₃` and `NaOH`
### Final Answer:
The pairs of compounds which cannot exist together in aqueous solution are (III) `NaOH and NaH₂PO₄` and (IV) `NaHCO₃ and NaOH`.

NaHCO_(3) and NaOH cannot exist together in solution. Why ?
P_(4)+NaOH to PH_(3) uarr+NaH_(2)PO_(2)
P_(4)+NaOH to PH_(3) uarr+NaH_(2)PO_(2)
Na_(3)PO_(4)+Fe_(2)(SO_(4))_(3) to FePO_(4) darr+Na_(2)SO_(4)
S_(8)+NaOH to Na_(2)S+Na_(2)S_(2)O_(3)
S_(8)+NaOH to Na_(2)S+Na_(2)S_(2)O_(3)
The chemical name of NaH_(2)PO_(4) is -
