Bauxide ore is made up of `Al_(2)O_(3) + SiO_(2) + TiO_(2) + Fe_(2) O_(3)`. This ore is treated with conc. `NaOH` solution at `500 K` and `35` bar pressure for a few hours and filtered hot. In the filtrate, the species present are

A

`NaAl(OH)_(4)` only

B

`Na_(2)Ti(OH)_(6)` only

C

`NaAl(OH)_(4)` and `Na_(2)SiO_(3)` both

D

`Na_(2)SiO_(3)` only

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the components of bauxite ore and their reactions with concentrated sodium hydroxide (NaOH) under the specified conditions. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Components of Bauxite Ore**: Bauxite ore primarily consists of: - Aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃) - Silicon dioxide (SiO₂) - Titanium dioxide (TiO₂) - Iron(III) oxide (Fe₂O₃) 2. **Understand the Reaction Conditions**: The ore is treated with concentrated NaOH at a temperature of 500 K and a pressure of 35 bar. Under these conditions, the reactivity of the components will vary. 3. **Determine the Reactivity of Each Component**: - **Aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃)**: This is an amphoteric oxide, which means it can react with both acids and bases. It will react with NaOH to form sodium aluminate. - **Silicon dioxide (SiO₂)**: This is an acidic oxide and will also react with NaOH to form sodium silicate. - **Titanium dioxide (TiO₂)**: This is a basic oxide and does not react with NaOH. - **Iron(III) oxide (Fe₂O₃)**: This is also a basic oxide and does not react with NaOH. 4. **Write the Reaction for Aluminum Oxide**: The reaction of aluminum oxide with sodium hydroxide can be represented as: \[ \text{Al}_2\text{O}_3 + 2 \text{NaOH} + 3 \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow 2 \text{NaAl(OH)}_4 \] This product, sodium aluminate, is soluble in water. 5. **Write the Reaction for Silicon Dioxide**: The reaction of silicon dioxide with sodium hydroxide can be represented as: \[ \text{SiO}_2 + 2 \text{NaOH} \rightarrow \text{Na}_2\text{SiO}_3 + \text{H}_2\text{O} \] This product, sodium silicate, is also soluble in water. 6. **Filtration of the Mixture**: After the reactions, the mixture is filtered hot. The insoluble residues will be TiO₂ and Fe₂O₃, while the soluble products (sodium aluminate and sodium silicate) will remain in the filtrate. 7. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the species present in the filtrate after filtering the treated bauxite ore will be sodium aluminate (NaAl(OH)₄) and sodium silicate (Na₂SiO₃). ### Final Answer: The species present in the filtrate are sodium aluminate (NaAl(OH)₄) and sodium silicate (Na₂SiO₃). ---
