Detailed Solution

NaCl in pure state is non-deliquesent, but generally it is associated with impurities like MgCl2 & CaCl2 , Due to the presence of theses salts it acts as deliquescent→ Solubility of NaCl does not change appreciably with increases in temperature→ Hydration enthalpy of NaCl is -784.0 KJ/mole,Where as lattice enthalpy of NaCl is +788.0 KJ/mole. ΔHsolution of NaCl is negligibly small and hence no effect of temperature on its solubilityThe gas evolved at anode is "Cl2"→ Na2CO3 → 2Na+ + CO3-2Hint: Anion of weak acid and cation of weak base only undergoing hydrolysis, but the cation of strong base and anion of strong acid can't undergo hydrolysisCO3-2+2H2O→H2CO3+2OH-2Na+ + 2OH- → 2NaOHDue to the formation of OH- ions the solutions becomes alkaline in nature.∴Options 1,2,4 are correct
