The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we need to analyze the information given about the combustion products A, B, and C, and determine the elements present in the organic compound. ### Step 1: Identify the compounds A, B, and C based on their reactions. 1. **A and C turned lime water milky**: - Lime water (calcium hydroxide solution) turns milky when carbon dioxide (CO₂) is bubbled through it, forming calcium carbonate (CaCO₃). - Sulfur dioxide (SO₂) can also react with lime water to form calcium sulfite (CaSO₃), which may also cause cloudiness. - Therefore, A and C are likely to be CO₂ and SO₂. 2. **B turned anhydrous CuSO₄ blue**: - Anhydrous copper sulfate (CuSO₄) is white and turns blue when it absorbs water (H₂O). - Thus, B must be water (H₂O). 3. **C turned K₂Cr₂O₇ solution green**: - Potassium dichromate (K₂Cr₂O₇) is orange in color and turns green when it is reduced, indicating that C is a reducing agent. - The reducing agent that can reduce K₂Cr₂O₇ is likely to be SO₂, which is known to reduce chromium from +6 to +3 oxidation state, resulting in a green solution. ### Step 2: Confirm the identities of A, B, and C. - **A**: CO₂ (carbon dioxide) - **B**: H₂O (water) - **C**: SO₂ (sulfur dioxide) ### Step 3: Identify the elements present in the organic compound. From the identified compounds: - **CO₂** contains carbon (C). - **H₂O** contains hydrogen (H). - **SO₂** contains sulfur (S). ### Conclusion The elements present in the organic compound are carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and sulfur (S). ### Final Answer The elements present in the organic compounds are C, H, and S. ---
