C.It is prepared by reaction of sodium carbonate with milk of lime.
D.It is hygroscopic in nature.
Solution
(A) It is used for making pulp in paper industry.
(B) 6NaOH + 2Al → 2Na3AlO3 + H2
2NaOH + Zn → Na2ZnO2 + H2
(C) Ca(OH)2 (milk of lime) + Na2CO3 → CaCO3 ↓ + 2NaOH
(D) It readily absorbs water on exposure to atmosphere and turns in to a liquid.
