$Na$

Vedclass · Answer

(A) The properties described are characteristic of alkali metals. $1$. Alkali metals like sodium $(Na)$ and potassium $(K)$ are soft enough to be cut with a knife. $2$. They are highly reactive with oxygen in the air,forming oxides,and are therefore stored under kerosene to prevent contact with air and moisture. $3$. They react vigorously with water to produce hydrogen gas and metal hydroxides. $4$. Among the given options,$Na$ (Sodium) fits all these criteria perfectly.

$X$	$Y$
$1$. Extraction of sulphur	$p$. Contact process
$2$. Production of nitric acid	$q$. Frasch method
$3$. Production of sulphuric acid	$r$. Haber's process
$4$. Production of ammonia gas	$s$. Ostwald's method

An element $A$ is soft and can be cut with a knife. It is very reactive to air and cannot be kept open in air. It reacts vigorously with water. Identify the element from the following:
