Hydrous ferrous sulphate crystals are heated in a boiling tube for few seconds. Water droplets are seen in the inner sides of test tube and the colour of the crystals changes. On continuous heating a colourless gas X with smell of burning sulphur is evolved and a residue Y is obtained. Identify the gas X and the residue Y formed.

Roasting of sulphides gives the gas X as a by product. This is a colourless gas ith choking smell of burnt sulphur and causes great damage to repiratory organs as a result of acid rain. Its aqueous solution is acidic, acts as reducing agent and its acid has never been isolated. The gas X is :-
