Bauxite ore consists of `Al_2O_3, SiO_2, TiO_2, Fe_2O_3`. This ore is treated with conc. `NaOH` solution at 500 K and 35 bar pressure for a few hours and filtered out. 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_2SiO_3` both

D

`Na_2SiO_3` only

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`Al_2O_3` and `SiO_2` react with conc. NaOH to give `NaAl(OH)_4` and `Na_(2)SiO_(3)` respectively.
