Y' is obtained by the decomposition of a substance 'X'. Oxygen present in 'X' is univalent. 'Y' reacts with a neutral oxide and evolves 'Z' which is composed of reddish brown fumes which turns moist blue litmus red. Identify 'X', 'Y' and 'Z'.

A

`H_(2)O_(2),H_(2)" and "CO_(2)`

B

`H_(2)O_(2),O_(2)" and "NO_(2)`

C

`KCIO_(3),Cl_(2)" and "O_(2)`

D

`HgO,O_(2)" and "NO`

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to identify substances X, Y, and Z based on the given clues. Let's break it down step by step. ### Step 1: Identify Substance X - The problem states that "Y is obtained by the decomposition of a substance 'X'." - It also mentions that "Oxygen present in 'X' is univalent." - Univalent means that the valency of oxygen in this case is 1. - The only common substance that fits this description is **Hydrogen Peroxide (H₂O₂)**. In H₂O₂, the oxidation state of oxygen is -1, which is univalent. ### Step 2: Identify Substance Y - Since Y is obtained from the decomposition of X (H₂O₂), we need to consider the decomposition reaction of hydrogen peroxide. - When H₂O₂ decomposes, it produces water (H₂O) and oxygen gas (O₂). Therefore, **Y = O₂ (Oxygen gas)**. ### Step 3: Identify Substance Z - The problem states that "Y reacts with a neutral oxide and evolves 'Z' which is composed of reddish-brown fumes." - A common neutral oxide is nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), which can react with oxygen. - When oxygen (Y) reacts with nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), it can produce nitrogen tetroxide (N₂O₄) and nitrogen monoxide (NO), which can further react to produce reddish-brown fumes of nitrogen dioxide (NO₂). - The reddish-brown fumes that turn moist blue litmus red indicate the presence of an acidic gas, which is **Z = NO₂ (Nitrogen Dioxide)**. ### Final Identification - **X = Hydrogen Peroxide (H₂O₂)** - **Y = Oxygen (O₂)** - **Z = Nitrogen Dioxide (NO₂)**
