The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of identifying the correct statements regarding the behavior of certain sodium compounds upon heating, we will analyze each option one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Option 1: Sodium Carbonate on Heating Evolves Carbon Dioxide** - Sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) does not evolve carbon dioxide upon heating. Instead, it loses its water of crystallization when heated, forming anhydrous sodium carbonate (Na2CO3). Therefore, this statement is **false**. 2. **Option 2: Sodium Nitrate on Heating Evolves Nitrogen Dioxide** - When sodium nitrate (NaNO3) is heated, it decomposes to form sodium nitrite (NaNO2) and oxygen gas (O2), not nitrogen dioxide (NO2). Thus, this statement is also **false**. 3. **Option 3: Sodium Hydroxide Does Not Decompose on Heating** - Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is thermally stable and does not decompose upon heating. Therefore, this statement is **true**. 4. **Option 4: Sodium Bicarbonate on Heating Evolves Carbon Dioxide** - Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) decomposes upon heating to produce sodium carbonate (Na2CO3), water (H2O), and carbon dioxide (CO2). Thus, this statement is **true**. ### Conclusion: From the analysis, we find that: - **Option 1**: False - **Option 2**: False - **Option 3**: True - **Option 4**: True The correct statements are **Option 3 and Option 4**.
