A certain compound X impats golden yellow flame. Whenzinc powder is heated with concenrated solution of X, `H_(2)` gas is evolved. X combines with `CO_(2)` to give a salt Y. Y is a hydrated salt which on reaction with HCl or ecess of `CO_(2)` gives another salt Z which is an important part of baking powder. identify X, Y and Z.

A

`X-NaOH,Y-Na_(2)CO_(3),Z-NaHCO_(3)`

B

`X-HCl, Y-NaOH,Z-NaHCO_(3)`

C

`X-KOH,Y-K_(2)CO_(3),Z-KHCO_(3)`

D

`X-NaCl,Y-Na_(2)CO_(3),Z-NaOH`

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to identify the compounds X, Y, and Z based on the clues provided in the question. Let's break down the information step by step. ### Step 1: Identify Compound X The question states that compound X imparts a golden yellow flame. In chemistry, sodium (Na) is known to produce a golden yellow flame when burned. Therefore, we can conclude that: **X = Sodium hydroxide (NaOH)** ### Step 2: Reaction of X with Zinc Next, we are told that when zinc powder is heated with a concentrated solution of X (which we identified as NaOH), hydrogen gas (H₂) is evolved. The reaction can be written as: \[ \text{Zn} + 2 \text{NaOH} \rightarrow \text{Na}_2\text{ZnO}_2 + \text{H}_2 \] This confirms that our identification of X as sodium hydroxide is correct. ### Step 3: Identify Compound Y The question states that X combines with CO₂ to give a salt Y. Sodium hydroxide reacts with carbon dioxide to form sodium carbonate: \[ 2 \text{NaOH} + \text{CO}_2 \rightarrow \text{Na}_2\text{CO}_3 + \text{H}_2\text{O} \] Thus, we can identify: **Y = Sodium carbonate (Na₂CO₃)** ### Step 4: Identify Compound Z The question mentions that Y is a hydrated salt which, upon reaction with HCl or excess CO₂, gives another salt Z that is an important part of baking powder. Sodium carbonate (Na₂CO₃) can react with hydrochloric acid (HCl) to produce sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO₃): \[ \text{Na}_2\text{CO}_3 + \text{HCl} \rightarrow \text{NaHCO}_3 + \text{NaCl} \] Sodium bicarbonate is also produced when sodium carbonate reacts with excess CO₂: \[ \text{Na}_2\text{CO}_3 + \text{CO}_2 + \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow 2 \text{NaHCO}_3 \] Thus, we can identify: **Z = Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO₃)** ### Conclusion In summary, we have identified the compounds as follows: - **X = Sodium hydroxide (NaOH)** - **Y = Sodium carbonate (Na₂CO₃)** - **Z = Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO₃)**

To solve the problem, we need to identify the compounds X, Y, and Z based on the clues provided in the question. Let's break down the information step by step. ### Step 1: Identify Compound X The question states that compound X imparts a golden yellow flame.
