Question:

Given below are two statements Statement-I: The solubility of \(\mathrm{CaCl_2}\) and \(\mathrm{MgCl_2}\) in water is more than that of \(\mathrm{NaCl}\). Statement-II: \(\mathrm{Ca(NO_3)_2}\) on heating gives three products. The correct answer is

Show Hint

On heating Group-2 metal nitrates, \[ \boxed{ \mathrm{M(NO_3)_2 \rightarrow MO+NO_2+O_2.} } \] Thus, three products are formed.

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Verify Statement-I. The chlorides of calcium and magnesium are highly soluble in water. Their solubility is greater than that of sodium chloride. Hence, \[ \boxed{\text{Statement-I is correct}.} \]

Step 2:
Verify Statement-II. On heating, \[ \mathrm{2Ca(NO_3)_2 \rightarrow 2CaO+4NO_2+O_2.} \] The products formed are \[ \mathrm{CaO,\ NO_2,\ O_2}, \] which are three products. Hence, \[ \boxed{\text{Statement-II is correct}.} \]

Step 3:
Write the conclusion. Both statements are correct. Hence, \[ \boxed{(A)} \] is the correct answer.
