Case II. Sodium chloride obtained from sea water or from lakes contains many impurities such
as sulphates of sodium and magnesium along with chlorides of calcium and magnesium.
The chlorides of calcium and magnesium are particularly undersirable on account of their
deliquescent nature.
For its purification, common salt is dissolved in minimum quantity of water to get a
saturated solution from which insoluble impurities are filtered off. Then hydrogen chloride
gas is passed through the saturated solution and the crystals of pure NaCl separate out.
The soluble impurities remain in the mother liquor. The crystals are filtered, washed and
dried.
Q53. Select the correct statement regarding pure NaCl.
(a) It is hygroscopic (absorb water from air) in nature.
(b) It is soluble in alcohol.
(c) It is not hygroscopic, it shows hygroscopic nature due to impurities.
(d) It is a brown crystalline solid.
Q54. Nature of aqueous solution of common salt is:
(a) acidic (b) alkaline (c) basic (d) neutral
Q55. Which of the following compounds is alkaline in aqueous medium?
(a) Na2CO3 (b) NaCl (c) H2CO3 (d) CuSO4
Q56. Some statements regarding salt NaCl are given below:
(I) It is prepared by chlor-alkali process.
