Solution
(a) The powdered metal added to sodium hydroxide solution is Aluminium.
(b) The gas evolved is hydrogen .
(c) The salt present in the colorless solution is sodium aluminate (NaAIO2).
Concept Insight:
The alloy of aluminium meta l i.e. duraluminium finds use in
the construction of aircrafts. Reaction of aluminium metal with sodium hydroxide is as:
\[\ce{2Al + 2NaOH + 2H2O -> 2NaAlO2 +3H2}\]
