1)

The main oxides formed on combustion of Li, Na, and K in excess of air respectively are


A) $LiO_{2}$,$Na_{2}O_{2}$and $K_{2}O$

B) $Li_{2}O_{2}$,$Na_{2}O_{2}$and$ KO_{2}$

C) $Li_{2}O$,$Na_{2}O_{2}$ and $KO_{2}$

D) $Li_{2}O$ ,$Na_{2}O$ and $KO_{2}$

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

$2Li +\frac{1}{2}O_{2}(g)\rightarrow Li_{2}O$

$2Na+ O_{2}(g)\rightarrow Na_{2}O_{2}$

$K+O_{2}(g)\rightarrow KO_{2}$
