Substance (A) is a yellowish-white deliquescent solid, which sublimes and has a vapour density of 133. (A) reacts violently with water, to form solution (B). A sample of (B) gave a curdy white precipitate (C) on the addition of dilute HNO3 and AgNO3 solution. However, the precipitate readily dissolved on the addition of dilute NH4OH, though a gelatinous white precipitate was formed in its place. (D) was filtered off and dissolved in excess NaOH, forming a clear solution (E). When CO2 was passed into (E), compound (D) was reprecipitated. Substance (A) dissolved unchanged in dry ether and on reaction with LiH, one of the two products (F) or (G), was formed, depending on whether the LiH was present in excess or not. Qualitative analysis of the solution (B) gave a white gelatinous precipitate in Group III. When 0.1333 g of (A) was dissolved in water and treated with 8-hydroxyquinoline, 0.4594 g of precipitate was obtained. Identify the compounds (A) to (G) and give equations for all of the reactions.
