Select the correct statements.
(1) Ferric bromide is obtained when chlorine gas is bubble through a solution of ferrous bromide
(2) Sodium sulphate is obtained when `SO_(2)(g) , H_(2)O(g)` and air are passed over heated sodium chloride
(3) `H_(2)S` gas is liberated when aluminium suphide becomes damp.

Options

A. statements 1 and 2 are correct
B. statement 3 alone is correct
C. statements 2 and 3 are correct
D. all the statements are correct

Answer

To solve the question, we will evaluate each statement one by one to determine their correctness.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

**Statement 1:** Ferric bromide is obtained when chlorine gas is bubbled through a solution of ferrous bromide.

1. **Identify the reactants:** We have ferrous bromide (FeBr₂) and chlorine gas (Cl₂).
2. **Write the reaction:** When chlorine gas is bubbled through ferrous bromide, the reaction can be written as:
\[ 2 \text{FeBr}_2 + 3 \text{Cl}_2 \rightarrow 2 \text{FeCl}_3 + 4 \text{Br}_2 \]
3. **Analyze the products:** The products of this reaction are ferric chloride (FeCl₃) and bromine (Br₂), not ferric bromide (FeBr₃).
4. **Conclusion:** The first statement is **false**.

**Statement 2:** Sodium sulphate is obtained when SO₂, H₂O, and air are passed over heated sodium chloride.

1. **Identify the reactants:** We have sodium chloride (NaCl), sulfur dioxide (SO₂), water (H₂O), and oxygen (from air).
2. **Write the reaction:** The reaction can be represented as:
\[ 2 \text{NaCl} + \text{SO}_2 + 2 \text{H}_2\text{O} + \text{O}_2 \rightarrow \text{Na}_2\text{SO}_4 + 2 \text{HCl} \]
3. **Analyze the products:** The products of this reaction include sodium sulfate (Na₂SO₄) and hydrochloric acid (HCl).
4. **Conclusion:** The second statement is **true**.

**Statement 3:** H₂S gas is liberated when aluminium sulfide becomes damp.

1. **Identify the reactants:** We have aluminium sulfide (Al₂S₃) and water (H₂O).
2. **Write the reaction:** The reaction can be represented as:
\[ \text{Al}_2\text{S}_3 + 6 \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow 2 \text{Al(OH)}_3 + 3 \text{H}_2\text{S} \]
3. **Analyze the products:** The products include aluminium hydroxide (Al(OH)₃) and hydrogen sulfide (H₂S).
4. **Conclusion:** The third statement is **true**.

### Final Conclusion:
- **Statement 1:** False
- **Statement 2:** True
- **Statement 3:** True

Thus, the correct option is that **Statements 2 and 3 are correct**.
