When a white crystalline compound x is heated with K2Cr2O7 and concentrated H2SO4, a reddish-brown gas A is evolved. On passing A into caustic soda solution a yellow coloured solution of B is obtained. Neutralising the solution of B with acetic acid and on subsequent addition of lead acetate, a yellow precipitate C is obtained. When x is heated with NaOH solution, a colourless gas is evolved and on passing this gas into K2HgI2 solution, a reddish-brown precipitate D is formed. Identify A, B, C, D and x. Write the equations of all the reactions involved.

Calcium burns in nitrogen to produce a white powder which dissolves in sufficient water to produce a gas A and an alkaline solution. The solution on exposure to air produces a thin solid layer of B on the surface. Identify the compounds A and B.

An aqueous blue coloured solution of a transition metal sulphate reacts with H2S in acidic medium to give a black precipitate A, which is insoluble in the warm aqueous solution of KOH. The blue solution, on treatment with KI in weakly acidic medium, turns yellow and produces a white precipitate B. Identify the transition metal ion. Write the chemical reactions involved in the formation of A and B.

A white substance A reacts with dilute H2SO4 to produce a colourless gas B and a colourless solution C. The reaction between B and acidified K2Cr2O7 solution produces a green solution and a slightly coloured precipitate D. The substance D burns in air to produce a gas E which reacts with B to yield and a colourless liquid. Anhydrous copper sulphate is turned blue on the addition of this colourless liquid Addition of aqueous NH3 or NaOH to C produces first a precipitate, which dissolves in the excess of the respective reagent to produce a clear solution in each case. Identify A, B, C, D and E. Write the equations of the reactions involved.

Salt A is water-soluble and gives a pink colour with phenolphthalein. Salt B will not give a pink colour with phenolphthalein. However, both salts give a colourless and odourless gas (X) on heating. Gas (X) gives white turbidity with baryta water which disappears on passing excess of gas (X). What are salts A and B?
