Question
A compound X on heating gives a colourless gas. The residue is dissolved in water to obtained Y. Excess CO2 is bubbled through aqueous solution of Y, Z is formed. Z on gently heating gives back X. The compound X is:
Options
A.CaCO3
B.Na2CO3
C.Ca(HCO3)2
D.K2CO3
Solution
CaCO3 → CaO + CO2, CaO + H2O → Ca(OH)2,
X Y
Ca(OH)2 + 2CO2 → Ca(HCO3)2, Ca(HCO3)2 → CaCO3 + H2O + CO2
Z
X Y
Ca(OH)2 + 2CO2 → Ca(HCO3)2, Ca(HCO3)2 → CaCO3 + H2O + CO2
Z
