IMPORTANT

An element 'A' exists as a yellow solid in standard state. It forms a volatile hydride 'B' which is a foul smelling gas and is extensively used in qualitative analysis of salts. When treated with oxygen, 'B' forms an oxide 'C' which is a colourless, pungent smelling gas. This gas when passed through acidified KMnO4 solution, decolourises it. 'C' gets oxidised to another oxide 'D' in the presence of a heterogeneous catalyst. Identify A, B, C, D and also give the chemical equation of reaction of 'C' with acidified KMnO4 solution and for conversion of 'C' to 'D'.
