Statement 1 : Ionic hydrides like hydrolith liberates hydrogen gas on reaction with water.
Statement 2 : The resultant solution acts as strong base.
Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true.
Statement 1 is true and statement 2 is false.
Statement 1 is false and Statement 2 is true.
Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are false.
Hydrolith — CaH2
CaH2+H2O→Ca(OH)2+H2
Hence the resultant solution is basic.
