Consider the following statements
(a) Density of sodium is more than potassium.
(b) Potassium carbonate is manufactured by Solvay process
(c)

LiN{O_3}

evolves

N{O_2}

gas on heating but

NaN{O_3}

does not
The correct statement(s) is/are

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

(a) and (c) only

Option C ((a) and (c) only) is correct because sodium is denser than potassium and lithium nitrate decomposes to release nitrogen dioxide, while sodium nitrate does not under similar conditions.
