When a white powder (A) is strongly heat...

When a white powder (A) is strongly heated, it gives of a colourless, odourless gas (B) which turns lime water milky (C) and if the passage of this gas is continued the milkiness disappears and gives a solution (D). The solid residue (E) is yellow when hot, but turns white on cooling. Idnetify (A) to (E) with help of the equations.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The reaction can be explain if we consider the compound (A) to be `ZnCO_(3)`
`underset((A))(ZnCO_())rarrunderset((E))(ZnO)+underset((B))(CO_(2))`
`CaO+CO_(2)rarrunderset("(milky white)")(CaCO_(3))`
`CaCO_(3)+H_(2)O+underset("(excess)")(CO_(2))rarrunderset("(D)")underset("Soluble")(Ca(HCO_(3))_(2))`
`ZnO` is yellow when hot and white when cold.

    A white amorphous powder (A) when heated gives a colourless gas (B), which turns lime water milky [which dissolves on passing excess of gas (B)] and the residue (C) which is yellow while hot but white when cold. The residue (C) dissolves in dilute HCI and the resulting solution gives a white precipitate on addition of potassium ferrocyanide solution. (A) dissolves in dil. HCI with the evolution of a gas which is identical in all respects to gas (B). The solution of (A) in dil. HCI gives a white ppt. (D) on addition of NH_(4)CI in excess of NH OH and on passing H_(2)S gas. Another portion of this solution gives initially a white ppt. (E) on addition of NaOH solution which dissolves in excess of NaOH. The solution on passing again H_(2)S gives back the white ppt. of (E), the white ppt. on heating with dil.
