(d) How is sodium metal extracted? Explain with the help of the equation of the reaction involved. (e) Name three other metals which are extracted in a manner similar to sodium.

Solution:

(d) Electrolytic reduction of molten sodium chloride extracts sodium metal. When molten sodium chloride is exposed to an electric charge, it decomposes into sodium metal and chlorine gas.

2NaCl(l) → 2Na(s) + Cl2(g)

(e) Potassium, calcium and magnesium.
