A colourless inorganic salt (X) decomposes at `300^(@)C` to give products Y and Z, leaving no residue. Z is neutral liquid oxide at room temperature and Y is a colourless diamagnetic neutral oxide. White phosphorus burns in excess Y, produce a strong dehydrating agent and most abundant gas in earths atmosphere. Write all equations related.

A waxy crystalline solid (X) with a garlic odour is obtained by burning white phosphorus in air. X reacts vigorously with hot water forming an acid and gas Y. Y is neutral towards litmus and produces a black residue Z when passed through cupric sulphate, What are Y and Z?

A solid 'X' when heated evolves a colourless gas which does not support combustion. The residue is dissolved in water to form 'Y' which can be used during construction and white washing. When excess carbon dioxide is bubbled through the solution of 'Y' , compound 'Z' is formed. When 'Z' is heated gently, 'X' is reformed. Identify 'X' and discuss the reactions.
