Write down the name of the alkali metal compound which- used for the absorption of CO_2 from exhaled air in space capsules and submarines

Which statement about photosynthesis are correct (a) First CO_(2) acceptor in C_(4) cycle is PGA (b) In C_(3) plants, first stable product of photosynthesis is RuBP (c) Cyclic photophosphorylation results in formation of ATP (d) Oxygen liberated during photosynthesis comes from water

Heat of combustion of carbon to CO_(2) is -393.5 kJ/mol. The heat released upon the formation of 35.2 kg of CO_(2) from carbon and oxygen gas is-

A white solid (A) when heated liberates a colourless gas which does not support combustion. The residue is dissolved in water to form (B) which can be used for whitewashing. When excess of CO_2 gas is passed through the solution of (B), it gives a compound {C) which on heating forms (A). Identify (A), (B) and (C). Give the reactions.

Alkali metals on combustion in excess of air form different type of oxides depending on the size of metal cations e.g . lithium forms mainly the oxide Li_2O , sodium forms peroxide and some super oxides NaO_2 and potassium, Rubidium and caesium form the superoxides, MO_2 . The stability of peroxide and superoxide increases, as the size of the metal cation increases because of the stabilisation of larger anion by larger cations through lattice energy effect. These oxides are easily hydrolysed by water. The oxides and the peroxides are colourless when pure, but the superoxides are yellow or orange in colour. Peroxide and superoxide of sodium and potassium are widely used as oxidising agent and as air purifier in space capsules, submarines and breathing mask. When sodium reacts with excess of oxygen at 350^@ C , the oxidation number of oxygen per atom changes from:
